Strand, or hand caning, is the most well known of the seat weaving
designs and patterns. The pattern is accomplished through a seven step
procedure that requires the weaving of individual strands of cane
through holes drilled in the perimeter of the seat. This is a very tedious,
and time consuming process, but will create a strong and durable
pattern when completed.
Cost: Hand caning costs $3.00 per hole. This price includes: removal
and replacement of old cane and spline, materials, and staining of the
cane.

Hand Caning, or Strand Caning
Pressed cane is can that is made in sheets using a machine. The cane is then cut to size to fit
the chair, and pressed into a groove that follows the perimeter of the opening, instead of drilled
holes. The cane is then held in place with reed spline, and glue. This technique looks similar to
hand caning in pattern, (and also comes in many variations), but the cane sits in a groove, rather
than being woven through a series of holes in the frame.
Cost: Pressed cane starts at $65.00 per caned area, and the price includes: removal and
replacement of old spline and cane, materials, and staining of the cane.

The chair to the right has a hand caned seat that was
showing wear. However, instead of paying $240 to have
the chair seat hand caned, we cut a board to cover and
protect the cane, and then we upholstered it. The board
is attached through the holes in the cane, so as not to
compromise the value of the chair. This allows the
customer to remove the seat someday, and re-cane or
sell the antique chair. The board and upholstery cost is
$65.00.
