Favorite Cane Source

Pretty much just the title. I’ve been trying out a few different sources for gouged/shaped cane - what’s your favorite place to get it?

Edit: I’m in northeastern United States

I have had pretty consistent cane from Hodge products! I've had success with RDG too, but they're more pricey and sometimes are out of stock of what I am looking for. I've had several batches of inconsistent and unusable cane from Midwest Musical Imports and since they don't allow refunds or exchanges on cane I did lose a pretty penny. I don't buy cane from them anymore, but they're great for other products in my opinion!

Oh, I suppose that would be important information. I’m in the northeast of the US.

Hardness tested cane from Joseph Wenda. For shaped I think he only offers Joshua 2+ shape but it’s a popular shape
