The Jay Light book on reedmaking is about as good as any and better than most. My teachers gave me hints that were valuable but I could not find a teacher who would focus on reedmaking.
Four years with one teacher were great, but I later concluded that he was a little unsure of his capability in reedmaking and gave relatively little advice, despite his making 10 to 20 reeds a week for other students. He had switched from W scrape to American scrape in the middle of his career and didn't seem to feel comfortable with the American scrape.
One late famous player and reedmaker told me that "I can teach you to play the oboe but I can't teach you to make reeds!" His reeds are still marketed by WW&BW. Good luck!
