Reichenbach Canes

Over the past year I have played with the Reichenbach reduction canes off and on. Yesterday, despite the 100 degree heat, I was obsessed to test them again.

Eventhough furnace glass canes have COE of 92-96; they work well with soft glass. I used them with Bullseye and Uroboros freely. With Moretti, I keep the ratio below 5% and have no problems.

Here I have the 2 beads on the left based on Bullseye (90), the large lentil on Vetrofond pale ivory(104), and the little sleek pillow is on Uroboros(96). The canes I used for the petals are gold ruby(R2), yellow aurora (R8), heliotrope(R11), Hyacinth violet(r14). For the base of the petals, I used Gaffer ivory.
