If so, has anyone ordered from the WEST COAST (US)? I got a shipment in and the cane seems so flimsy. Rather I am thinking it has to do with the rain we had over here in the month of January and into February. Ive gone through ten blanks and all of them exhibit cane that just has not dried out yet. Needless to say it took me a while to realize it just wasn't acting right. When I'm scraping my reeds it feels like im scraping wet clay rather than cane. Im trying to dry them out some more under a little low powered lamp to see if that helps. Anyone else notice this about cane from the west or am I just crazy?

I doubt that recent weather would affect cane stored indoors all that much. My latest batches of cane from the East Coast are also quite mushy--I suspect that perhaps the weather in cane-growing regions over the last few years would have more to do with that than recent weather in cane-shipping regions. And it may be that there just isn't enough good cane to go around....

I've always been very happy with David Weber's cane.
