Hi, Drew -

I was going to comment on this point but you beat me to it. Unwrapping the cane from the tube and carefully flattening it back to its original inside diameter is a good start, but actually, the radius ground onto the shaper tip is much larger than the inside radius of the cane you are shaping; if you tried to match that 5 to 5.25 radius on the tip you would part the ears right off. So we start by flattening the cane to shape it (which means the cane will be narrower, especially at the tip, when it springs back to its original diameter) and then we wrap it around a narrow tube (which means the cane will be narrower, especially at the throat).

This means a lot of futzing around to find out what reality is, but I applaud this inquiry. I've never done anything like it and I'm really curious to see where it goes. Keep us up to date, please!
