 Re: John Mack on reedmaking

Another thing I noticed here ("fancy tip work", 7:30), and similarly in Kerry Willingham's reedmaking close-up video is the angle of attack used when scraping the tip.

JM and KW both use a very shallow angle of attack, practically slicing under the top layer of cane and lifting the fibers away. This ensures that the lower fibers are not deformed or compressed in any way, thus they present well for the next stroke.

I was always taught to scrape with the blade almost vertical - I'm going to try it this way from now on.
