Dana, how 'bout a wooden block with a hole through it pulled along the heated cane to straighten...only problem I see is securing the smaller end.
now I realize that cane is tapered but I'll betcha that you could still squeeze it through as long as the hole is not wayyy too small.     

having just grabbed a piece of straightened cane made me realize that you'd have to flatten the nodes, but the difference in outside diameter from one end to the other is not significant.   

not sure you'd want to boil cane but steaming shouldn't be a problem.

buuuuuut, ifin you hang yer sticks up to dry with a large weight on one end, it should help em to dry a little less kinky than they used to be. but i dont know. let us know as yer idea progresses.

Papa Matt:
I worked at a factory through college, and you know how factory people love to pick on college summer help, they had me looking for a "sky hook".  >:(
