Five critical steps:
1. Reduce and reshape by squeezing the middle -- not the ends
2. Make sure the long back side is well-joined so it doesn’t split later
3. Re-shape the cane components to a curved “J” shape, not an “L” shape
4. Always keep corners and edges sharp
5. Take your time reshaping and arranging the final pieces
