Tying Blanks! Part I

Working on reeds on the couch! 

Julia beeswaxing the string so it doesn't slip when tying the reed
Up close look at the beeswax

Cane must soak in water for about 15 minutes before you can start tying! Or until the cane sinks in the water

Julia measuring the cane from base of staple. Finished blank should be around 73.5 mm.
String must be attached to something stable and should always be taut when tying.
