So I was just sitting down trying to figure out how to make them neater when I remembered I had a small star cookie cutter. I was going to use it to make an impression on the end of the block of clay to use as a cutting guide when I remembered seeing somewhere someone making a cane from cookie cutters (sorry can't remember who or where or when - I do remember it was elephants and it was a neat idea).
Here's what I did. The sheet was about 1cm thick, could of made it thicker but it reduced OK
I am pleased with the end result. I wish I had some more interesting small cutters, I have some great ones but they are too big it would be very difficult reducing a disc 15cm wide but only 1 cm deep I imagine.

Thanks for sharing. I have had a go at star canes a while ago but following Donna Kato's instructions and without the cookie cutters, which was not easy. This however looks like it could not only save a bit of time but they come out really nice.
