--- Quote from: Pat B on July 22, 2017, 12:03:44 pm ---John, I've used a 3/8" open end wrench for years to check at the base bur I use sourwood and hill cane. You can always reduce the shoots with a thumb plane or belt sander.

--- End quote ---

Yeah, I'd rather take'em a little thick than not have enough to work with

Pat B:
Most shoots will shrink as they dry and when you remove the bark they go down more sp starting with 3/8" MOL you usually come out about right. You can always reduce more if needed.

Silver John:
I use a 10 mm wrench as a gage.  It is slightly larger than a 3/8 " wrench.

Measuring large end of the shoot.

John
