I have occasionally bought shaped oboe cane with wider shapes, but have been completely stumped as to how to make in-tune reeds with such stuff. I recently purchased some shaped EH cane from a major house that was a mm wider than what I had been using, and the result is easily a quarter-step flat or more.
Obviously, some people can make reeds that play in tune with such cane, so there must be a way. I'm not determined to master such an art, (I can always just go back to my narrower shapes) but I think it would be good if I knew something about the general strategies for working with such shapes. At least it would allow me to make some educational use of the 9 pieces of wide EH cane I have left.
