Agent99 -> Does the black tip on the end of a cane prevent splitting? (3/6/2013 8:51:01 AM)

I've seen videos where the cane splits as they use it on a lovely bottom.

Then I noticed the black tip in this caning video
http://www.porntubeyou.com/american-caning-49188.html

Does that black tip serve a function?



mnottertail -> RE: Does the black tip on the end of a cane prevent splitting? (3/6/2013 8:52:51 AM)

wonder if it like a rubber dip to keep the sharp end away and to retard the splitting some?

prolly my guess.

I have no idea. I use fiberglass partly to prevent splitting and sharp edges.

Hasn't everybody (top) busted a cane on somebody's ass at least once? It's like a right of passage.

I buy birchrod by the cord, so many of them break.

This. The ex Dom and I used to make canes. The dip is just to keep the ends from being sharp and to keep it from splitting. It does not however, keep from breaking. Bamboo rods are cheap for a reason. They break easily and are not meant to last forever.

Hey. I have bamboo growing in my back yard (infiltrated by a sadistic neighbor).
But, this bamboo has raised growth rings.

Wouldn't they cause extra welts?

This is why I like steel rod!

Hah-Come summertime, I but bamboo by the bushel. Ooooh, the lilone hates it so.
(But she prefers bamboo to some of my other caning type utensils)

Tool dip makes a great handle too. Not sure it would be strong enough to stop the cane from splitting (if we are talking about rattan). Soaking them in linseed oil periodically is how my late dom stopped his canes from breaking. Seemed to work too.

Best thing to make a cane out of.

If you want, you can easily add a cork or closed cell foam grip.

Customized thread art makes them really nice too. [;)]

That's just one of the reasons why most cane manufacturers use rattan rather than bamboo. Rattan is solid and generally more flexible then bamboo.

Not if they're sanded down.

And your problem is? [;)]

There are all different types of bamboo. Some canes are made with the type you mention. Others are made from the young green shoots. Some are made from a different type of bamboo that does not have the notches. Plus there are many different diameter of bamboo depending on which kind it is. There are literally hundreds of different types of bamboo.

rattan canes do well with a little soak in water every now and again, too; helps keep them flexible, instead of breaking.



littlewonder -> RE: Does the black tip on the end of a cane prevent splitting? (3/7/2013 9:14:43 PM)

Yes, rattan is also another material for canes but even they can split and break. But they're cheap enough to make. Or you could just go outside and grab a birch branch. [;)]

I would expect the large change in moisture first going in and then going right back out to make it more likely to break and that oil would be a more stable way of keeping them flexible.

If they're finished with a coating to help slow down moisture loss, then it's not something you need to do often. But things don't absorb moisture in some rush of water, and then lose it the same way - well unless you have some pretty rapid fluctuations in temperature and air pressure/humidity, I'd say. A presenter who spoke with us once said she sticks hers in a shallow cup of water, end first, and it soaks water up slowly like a plant stem. Leaving them to dry naturally in the air rather than trying to speed up the process artificially, keeps them from cracking from rapid water loss.

Rattan


I don't have a clue what 'rattan' is, so, googling, I find out:
quote:


Rattan is the name for the roughly 600 species of palms in the tribe Calameae, native to tropical regions of Africa, Asia and Australasia. Wikipedia
Scientific name: Calameae
Rank: Tribe
Higher classification: Calamoideae
Lower classifications: Salacca


So where do you get your palm canes anyway?

Bah. Get a nice whippy piece of plastic, something like the rods you use to turn blinds. That shit hurts like the blazes.

Edited to add-If you do use steel or metal, get something thin and flexible, like a car antennae. Those things are amazing. They leave the bestest marks ever.
