Re: cane cracking

You are oversoaking, if your cane is being soaked for a whole day. Once the water saturates the outer bark it will almost always crack. You want it pliable but not saturated.

I thin the narrow ends of my shaped cane before tying from the inside and this seems to help a little. Or it could simply be this batch of cane. check out this previous thread:

Soak your gouged and shaped cane in tepid water for ~ 30 minutes only, and try again?
