Dear All,
Great insights. I have always used an easel to shave down the ends of the cane, but I thought that it was only for cosmetic reasons until I stopped doing so a few days ago. I found that cracking became quite prevalent during tying, which is usually not a problem for me. I'm happy to know that this experience has been confirmed by others.
About Mr. Killmer, by the way, he doesn't make reeds quickly to show off. The super-fast ones often are made to check a gouger setting. With his vast experience, he really does know if the gouge is OK within a few minutes.
