Hello,
I would suggest that you order gouged and shaped cane from for instance oboe-shop.de. You will need a thinner gouge than you might be used to, I use 0.55-0.56 mm, medium hard cane of their selection. A very useful shape when trying "german" or "scandinavian" reed style is RC11 or RC12 from Roseau Chantant, I think you will find at least one of them at oboe-shop.de. These are similar to Kunibert Michel's 720 and 725 shapes. Tie on to a Chiarugi 2 or Guercio d12 staple. 47 or 46 mm is pretty much standard, tie on length would be appr 73 and 72 mm respectively.
Make a scrape that is 10-12 mm long, heart at about 0.40mm thick, tip maybe 1 mm long in the middle, longer at the edges, ca 0.08mm thick. No windows or sharp cuts, just a smooth ride from cane to heart and maybe a slight edge down to the tip. And there you go. ;-)
