I have handled a “modern” cane, but not an authentic school one, much as I would like to. My information mainly comes from a number of years of research on the subject, including manufacturers, films, photographs and written details of cane manufacture. I can assure you that school canes were made in the way I described, at least by the two most prolific manufacturers in England. It was a labour intensive industry by today’s standards, but they were produced in batches of perhaps 30 at a time affixed along the same pole and the “tieing and drying” procedure to form the crook did indeed work. Both the cane in England and the tawse in Scotland were entirely hand made. No machinery, no automation, just fairly repetitive work.
