"Experience is learning from your mistakes. Wisdom is learning from the mistakes of others."
I have lots of experience, let me help you gain wisdom.Check the list below. If the information you are seeking isn't already here, then ask a craftsman.
General Information
Prewoven Cane
- How do I determine how much prewoven cane to buy?
- How long do I need to soak the prewoven cane? Can I soak it too much?
- What kind of glue should I use for prewoven cane?
- What’s the best way to remove old spline from a prewoven seat? And could I reuse it?
- I have a chair with holes around the seat, can I router a groove in it to use prewoven cane?
Finishing and/or Care
Handcane
- Can I use golf tees instead of caning pegs for handcaning?
- In doing the 7-step pattern of handcaning, I’m having a hard time weaving steps 5 and 6 (diagonals). I’ve heard that I should wipe petroleum jelly on the cane to make it slide better, does that work?
- I have an antique chair to recane (7-step) and the cane appears to be 2 different sizes. Are my eyes playing tricks on me?
- I have a chair with holes, but they don’t seem to go all the way through. How can I cane this?
Fibre Rush
Splints (Reed, Binder cane, or other materials)
