 Flaring Reeds

Hi,

I had a bunch of 10 tied reeds that when scraped "flared" awfully" at the sides - I had trouble making good reeds.

This happened "I believe" when my gouger had problems and I had to add pressure to the cane to gouge.

I wonder if this affected this batch of gouged cane. The dimensions seemed okay and I did check them with the micrometer; however, something is not "kosher" here. Could a poor gouge caused the "flaring" of the sides to open?

I usually do not have these problems.... really never.

The reeds tied good.

The cane I used was pretty straight. Temperature? Humidity or lack of?

Comments?

Just very curious to know why the reeds "flared" at the sides all things being equal.

Mark
