Re: cane cracking

Thin the last 1/4 inch of cane gradually tapering from top to bottom, top still bark, and bottom very thin. This can be done using knife or a coarse emery board laid flat at edge of desk. Thin one blade of cane at time by holding the cane unfolded slightly. You can vary the pressure on the cane with your fingertip and quickly get a gradual thinning toward the very bottom end. Tiny cracks, as long as they don't go up into the part not covered by the thread binding, don't matter much.
