Sorting cane?
Pat B:
If you can make one of the uprights on your spine tester adjustable you can do it. It's the same with hardwood shoot arrows, like sourwood...or red osier. ;)

"Same here, I let it dry,then sort it by spine before I do anything to it. "
here is one of the quotes that I saw,
Hillbilly:
Charlie, that was probably me that said that. What I meant was that I sort it by "hand-spining" to get in the ballpark. If you fool with cane a lot, you can judge the stiffness pretty well by flexing it in your hands. That'll get your cane sorted into batches that are reasonably close, within a five-ten pounds of each other, anyway. If you want to put them on a spine tester to get them exact, you'll do that after you get the canes straightened and finished out.
stringstretcher:
Thanks Hillbilly. I thought it was you that has said it and thought you had some majic in the picking fingers of yours.....lol. By the way, I had a quitar in my hands yesterday for the first time in over 32 years.......that was one set of picking you definately are glad you missed.......lol
Mechslasher:
i sort my cane by weight after drying, mostly in 25-50gr sets. then after straightening, i'll have roughly matched sets. similar densities usually lead to similar spine wieghts.
