My Chair Caning Project

by Leave a Comment

I’ve dis­cov­ered chair can­ing and here’s my first project.

I had intend­ed to do the clas­sic six-sided pat­tern but end­ed up with some­thing like the dou­ble lace Vic­to­ria. The holes became tight and impos­si­ble to make the final fin­ish­ing bor­der. I’m ok with these “mis­takes.” The chair is extreme­ly stur­dy and looks nice, and it also looks hand­made with­out the border.
I have a mate to this chair so I will have to repeat the “mis­takes” so they look the same.
This project is quick­er and in many cas­es eas­i­er than knit­ting or cro­chet­ing. I enjoyed doing it and have sev­er­al more chairs to cane.
P.S. I con­tin­ue the lit­er­ary and art work.
