Title: Gonna have a cane straightening party at Pappy's place, who's coming?
Post by: FlintWalker on January 27, 2008, 11:56:28 pm

  I was off work last week so I thought I would cut a little cane. Well, I cut a little, then a little more and...well you get the picture.
 Anyway, i'll be at Pappy's this spring and will give whoever needs some 2 for every one you'll help me straighten  ;D  ;D ;D Heck, I might even cut ya a better deal than that, Lord knows I don't need 'em all.  I just thought I'd cut plenty but sometimes I get carried away.
  So who's coming?

I don't mean to keep rambling on, but what's the best way to store these and do you think it would hurt them if I put some in a low temp dry kiln. Something like 120-140 degrees? I'm afraid they won't be dry by May.

Shannon, I put my bundles of cane in my utility room and they are usually dry in a month or 2. ;)     Pat

Just tie a string to them and hang em up so they can get good air flow, heat might crack em.

I'm going to try my best to make it, especially if work interferes with OJAM (which is looking somewhat likely  >:( >:( ).  If I come, I'll bring some trading material.  I haven't found any cane (not real sure what I'm looking for), but I did find some stuff that scraped well, straightened well and is looking to make a good stick, and I have no idea what kind of wood it is.   :-[

That looks like a nice haul.
