The two related links point to YouTube videos provided by Reeds'n Stuff, showing a master class in reed making. The videos are in German (with English Translations of the tool names) which can be a little frustrating, but if a picture is worth a thousand words, these two videos are worth a whole lot more!
If you freeze the first video after the seven reed stages appear, they are, from left to right, the cleaned cane (arundo Donax is the common reed cane), split cane piece, a piece cut to length, the piece after the bottom is planed flat, after the sides are tapered and the bottom sanded, pre-shaped, and after the final shaping.
Watching the videos shows how these steps are achieved, and the amazing test of the reed after the final shaping: unlike double reeds, once the last shaping step is complete, the reed is finished!
