My satisfaction measure is not calibrated in kilos, sadly, after all the metrics we did in school, but in pounds.
A decent pound will produce 250 - 300 reed blanks for me.
For those pounds that used to show up with an odd mix of long tubes and short tubes, perhaps fewer decent pieces.
These past several years the cane tubes seem to be a much more consistent length.
The only supplier I will NEVER use again operates out of Texas, has a doctorate and the initials Dr. S. H.
NEVER AGAIN!
The worst and most twisted and useless cane I have ever suffered.
Not 1 out of 50 tubes produced a useful blank. I cannot assess the cane because it was so twisted, it was worse than useless. A waste of time and money, and wear and tear on my gouger and hands.
And that after I laid out on my order how much I hate twisted cane. He somehow got it all wrong. NEVER AGAIN.
I should probably publish pictures of that garbage he shipped to me.
