Dan Ross, the manufacturer of Ross gouging machines showed me a little trick many years ago:

You can make the opening more closed by thinning the ENDS of the cane slightly after shaping and before tying the reed (yes, I'm referring to the end that gets covered with thread once you tie the reed).

I usually experiment when trying a new shipment of cane to see exactly how much or how little I need to adjust to get exactly the opening I want. I've found that some cane needs NO thinning on the ends while other cane needs quite a bit to get the opening I like...... I always buy the same diameter.
