I have a Bumbry rocking chair from the 1880’s that needs to be recained. Original cane 1/4”. I’ve not been able to find anybody to do the work for me so I guess I’m going to have to learn and do it myself. Absolutely the best rocking chair I have ever sat in in my life. It has quite a history.
Thanks for the video! I have a photo of a child's rocker I just did using your instruction, but I don't know how to attach it to this comment. It is for our granddaughter who will turn 1 in about 3 weeks. The chair was my wife's when she was a little girl.
Glad I stumbled onto this video I've had a rocking chair on my porch for 10 years with no bottom wondering how to fix it now I think I can handle it thanks
Amazing! I've been going back watching all your old videos and you have so many talents and skills. I Love the fact that you value the old ways and things passed down through generations. I'm really enjoying your channel so far.
I love it!! Your tutorial is crystal.clear. I am going to order cane right now. Yesterday, I bought a rocker from an 80 year old lady. Ir needed cane and springs but otherwise excellent, sturdy and the wood spindles immaculate. They were downsizing and.the chair had been stored in the attic. Belonged to her husband's grandma!! I feel like I scored a treasure.
I could not add a photo here of my little rocker using fabric. It turned out wonderfully well and I am pleased. I made fabric strips that were 8 layers thick and a one over, one under pattern. Your video helps a lot so again... thanks much.
Thank you so much for your tutorial! really easy to follow. I've re-caned canoe seats with narrower strands but never had to splice strands together. I really appreciate the tip!
Thank you for this video. I put a new seat in my grand-daughter's rocker using your tutorial. It certainly doesn't look as beautiful as yours, but I think it will hold. Thanks again!!
Beautiful !! True craftsman !! i got a few old straight back chairs im planning on doin soon , did a Deer hide bottom years ago, Thanks for Your video , it will be very helpful . God Bless & take care !!
Thank you so much for sharing this! I wanted to learn this from my grandma before she passed away, but I wasnt capable of cutting down and stripping the bark off a tree to do it. Thank you so much! I think this is how she did it too!
You are a Master of this. I'm 65 and I watched my Dad do this as a little girl. He cut his own caning and started and spliced just as you do. I'm in southern My and he used hickory or white oak. You are the first one on TH-cam I've seen do this. Very professional and highest quality work. Thank you for sharing.
This video was excellent!!! I appreciate your good craftsmanship! I am starting a ladder back chair that originally had rushing for the seat but it had broken over the years.
Fluty Lick Homestead. Here in Arizona there are a lot of wastefulness. Guess its easier to haul to the dump. I'll put a ISO add on FB. I laughed when you said. " in my spare time". 😊
That is some fine work, thanks for showing us how it's done, wondered many a time myself. Whoops, just noticed it's past eleven o'clock at night . You're going to make me late going to bed again, but it's worth it.
Thank you for the very informative video. I just caned my first chair it turned out great . I’m going to start a rocking chair using the hickory bark like you did in your other video.
Back in the mid fifties my great-uncle replaced the bottoms in his ladder back chairs with hickory bark. As I was growing up I had only seen him do a repair on two chairs within 20 years. They were comfortable chairs once the bark was worn smooth.
Just wanted to say thank you for your time and trouble to do this video. I just finished my first chair cane seat and back . . . and looking at it afterwards . . . I messed it up . . . but I'm not going to take it all out and do it over. I sat in it tonight for a little while . . . will enjoy the heck out of it come this spring . . . it'll be my front porch rocker . . . maybe snoozer. I'm gonna try and find you on facebook . . . shoot you a couple of pictures . . . you'll giggle at my mistakes . . . but what the heck . . . it's just a cane bottom front porch rocker.
Another awesome video! Thanks for teaching us this. I have weaved a new seat in chairs using the paper rush but never cane. I will have to order some now!
Can you show in detail how you splice your cane? I didn't quite get that as it was a little hard to see maybe like a close up?? That would be great. Your chairs look really great I can't wait to do one.
Beautiful work! Thank you. My caning project is for a dollhouse, 1:12 scale, so the chair in TINY. I plan to use raffia for the caning, but if that doesn't work, I'll try embroidery thread. I want my chair to look just like yours.
Thanks for this video! It was very informative. I have some old chairs that I was going to replace the cane bottoms with cushions but now can fix them the right way! Love your channel. Great videos and super family too!
Great work Man, I’m gonna give this a try. Jerad if it works out could you do a video using hickory bark, from harvesting the bark to weaving the chair. I have a 10 hickory trees around and would really like to give this a try. Thanks. Great job, Mike
Very informative! I've only done the rush weaving and have made some cordage with corn husks that I hope to use on a chair but I've never tried the cane. You're very talented! :)
Tammy Mann thank you! I’ve never worked with rush before I’ve cut a lot of rush bottoms out when I’ve put cane in for people. I’d like to try it sometime tho
That was an absolutely awesome video. I love your videos. I would love to see more soon. Especially your great house. I've been watching videos on how to make a hewn log house and I think they are the best design by far. I probably won't make one, but I love learning anyway. Your house is something else. God bless you and your beautiful family and merry Christmas. From the Ozarks in Missouri.
I’m totally inspired and have a couple of questions: How much cane was needed to complete the seat bottom on ½” cane? How much would one of the tall rocking chair back and seat need in the ¼”? I have 3 antique chairs that have needed reworking in the herringbone pattern, and finally I know exactly how to do it! Thanks so much for the instructions!
Most regular chairs I use 1 hank, wouldn’t hurt to have 2 on hand. 1/4 inch I’m not sure I haven’t used any in several years, it is extremely time consuming. I did 2 matching rockers bottom and backs with 1/4 and took me forever lol
I really enjoyed this video! I sat in so many chairs just like that one as I grew up! It was wonderful to see you do this, I'd always wondered how they were made. Great job! Thank you! GOD bless you and your family! Bee blessed Danny and Rita in TN on Rooster Ridge
Thanks for the video! I just replaced the bottom in a rocker that was built in 1939 by my great great grandfather for grandmother at 3yrs old. Your video was extremely helpful! Question for though, I had the bottom side getting tighter much faster than the top and was harder to keep the weave close together. Is that common?
Great job. Lovin your channel over here in Carolina. What do y'all call it when you mess up on a pattern? If Nanny did while sewing, quilting, caning etc, she'd call it a turkey track.
How much do you need to do a full chair? I saw you said a hank but how many feet is that? And can you dye the cane? I have a black chair. I'd like the seat to be black to match.
How do you know how much cane you need? My great grandma had a cane bottom rocker that my grandma painted it years ago and now the cane is cracking. We use it daily to rock my baby. Love to keep these old pieces of furniture!
The end where I start you can staple or tack or over lap 1 time to hold and when finished I tuck the last weave in good and tight sometimes I will fold it back over the last run I did on bottom and weave it backward 1 run kind of making a loop at the end
That is really beautiful work. Jesus is Lord, and He is coming soon, so it won't need to last that long, but it is really beautiful. God bless. Maranatha.
This video was very helpful! Does anyone know if the reed can be stained? The frame is very old, natural and dark. I rubbed it down with some orange oil before weaving the seat back in. The reed is new, light and a stark contrast. I got some Dixie Belle gel stain to hopefully make it look more cohesive.
I’ve only used rush cane or now mostly hickory bark, they do fine on a covered porch, they do make a plastic material but I’m not sure where to tell you to find it, perhaps V.I. Reed and cane. Some basket supply might have it.
Excellent tutorial I have two of my grandmother’s chairs - probably over 100 years old each. Your tutorial has given me the confidence to try to repair or completely re-cane. Do you have any advice of just a few splints are broken? Do you think I should start from scratch or just do a repair?
@@FlutyLickHomestead Thank you for your time and advice! I purchased the ash strips. I plan to do the repair today. I found a broken back rail on the second chair that I need to completely reweave so I need to figure that replacement out for that one. Anyway, I plan to watch your tutorial again today before beginning. I'd LOVE to have a close up on the joint you make to connect strips if you ever have time to post one.
@@FlutyLickHomestead Thank you!!! I'll let you know how it goes. I just spent 3 hours stripping the old split ash and mostly pulling about 100 carpet and miniscule tacks the previous weaver used.

Thanks so much for posting. Between yours and one other helpful video, I rescued a rocker! Enjoyed your Blackberry Blossom too!!
This man is amazing. And I love his accent lol!
Gorgeous....gonna do an old rocker ! You're such a gifted young man...be blessed !
My Granny had some old home made chairs like that but they had used bailer twine to weave chair bottoms for them .
Very nice sir. God bless
Beautiful !! True craftsman !! i got a few old straight back chairs im planning on doin soon , did a Deer hide bottom years ago, Thanks for Your video , it will be very helpful . God Bless & take care !!

Awesome video, I have my grandmother’s old rocker and I think I’m going to try and fix it using your video
Love your teaching method. Awesome technique. Totally different than other videos. Like yours best. Thank you.

Wooley689 thank ya! Really appreciate it! Time gets away from me too when I get on TH-cam!
Nice pattern. I have never seen that done before. I can see it tightening up as you go so I see why you leave it loose in the beginning.
You inspired me to try an old stool I have! Thanks!
Thank you so much!! I've been wanting to redo my daughter's chair ( it was mine from childhood) but I didn't know what to do. You saved it!
That is awesome! Hope it turns out great for you
thanks. easy to understand. I will definitely give it a shot. got a couple of old Grandma chairs.

Thank you!!
Another awesome video! Thanks for teaching us this. I have weaved a new seat in chairs using the paper rush but never cane. I will have to order some now!
It's easy after ya get the first few runs started!! I've never used the paper rush
I have done a couple out of rush :-) I think I would like this better in the long run though.
Wonderful video!! I always wanted to know how to do that!!! Thank you for sharing!!!! Miss Kelly!!!
Can you show in detail how you splice your cane? I didn't quite get that as it was a little hard to see maybe like a close up?? That would be great. Your chairs look really great I can't wait to do one.
I’ll do a close up next chair i do
Where do you but your cane?
Beautiful! You made it look so easy........ Tell the family Merry Christmas and God Bless.......
Perfect, I needed this, have two old rocking chairs. Thanks a lot, really great!
What a beautiful work 👌🏽❤️

I’ve never heard that one but I like it!
Hey nice video. Where can you buy the cane strips?
all the best to you and yours from new Zealand hope to get a farm in easy ky very soon cheers phil
Thank you! Good luck to ya
Wow nice work
Looks great
How much do you need to do a full chair? I saw you said a hank but how many feet is that? And can you dye the cane? I have a black chair. I'd like the seat to be black to match.
Awesome , I am saving this video in my favorites :-) Do you put any kind of finish on it after it dries ?
I don’t but you could put a clear coat or linseed or aomething
How do you know how much cane you need? My great grandma had a cane bottom rocker that my grandma painted it years ago and now the cane is cracking. We use it daily to rock my baby. Love to keep these old pieces of furniture!
very good ; i didn't see where you attached the end , how did you locked it
The end where I start you can staple or tack or over lap 1 time to hold and when finished I tuck the last weave in good and tight sometimes I will fold it back over the last run I did on bottom and weave it backward 1 run kind of making a loop at the end

Thanks for the tutorial
That is really beautiful work. Jesus is Lord, and He is coming soon, so it won't need to last that long, but it is really beautiful. God bless. Maranatha.
Where would you order that 1/2” cane from? Thanks and very educational from back in earlier times
I order this kind from the basket makers catalog online
This video was very helpful! Does anyone know if the reed can be stained? The frame is very old, natural and dark. I rubbed it down with some orange oil before weaving the seat back in. The reed is new, light and a stark contrast. I got some Dixie Belle gel stain to hopefully make it look more cohesive.
What type of cane would you use for an outdoor chair? And, how do you know when it’s soaked enough?
I’ve only used rush cane or now mostly hickory bark, they do fine on a covered porch, they do make a plastic material but I’m not sure where to tell you to find it, perhaps V.I. Reed and cane. Some basket supply might have it.
Very nice 👍🏼. I recently found a small child’s chair that needs a new bottom. Would you recommend 1/2” cane for this? Thanks and God bless!
That’s great! 1/2 or 3/4 would look good!
Excellent tutorial I have two of my grandmother’s chairs - probably over 100 years old each. Your tutorial has given me the confidence to try to repair or completely re-cane. Do you have any advice of just a few splints are broken? Do you think I should start from scratch or just do a repair?
I would try to just replace the broke. Long as you get a few weaves just tuck the end under some of the previous and it will hold
I’ll have to do a video on this next time I repair one like that. How ever you do it I hope they turn out great for ya
@@FlutyLickHomestead Thank you for your time and advice! I purchased the ash strips. I plan to do the repair today. I found a broken back rail on the second chair that I need to completely reweave so I need to figure that replacement out for that one. Anyway, I plan to watch your tutorial again today before beginning. I'd LOVE to have a close up on the joint you make to connect strips if you ever have time to post one.
@@FlutyLickHomestead Thank you!!! I'll let you know how it goes. I just spent 3 hours stripping the old split ash and mostly pulling about 100 carpet and miniscule tacks the previous weaver used.
