    Many years ago, my wife bought me 2 spindle backed, cane seat, antique chairs in very bad condition. I pulled the worn out cane seating out of them. Then I just sat in a chair in the driveway when I had nothing else to do and hand sanded the entire 2 chairs, spindles and all. Then I found a guy locally in Long Beach, California who sold pre-woven caning material. I bought the caning and splining from him and had him give me a training on how to install it. After I had soaked the caning material overnight, I carefully installed it the chairs and let it dry. When dry I tested the seats and they seemed very tight. I did a light stain on the oak frame of the chairs, but left the caning natural. I went back to the shop that sold me the materials and tested his seats for tension. I was very proud that my seats were tighter than his. Now about 50 years later one of the chairs’ caning has broken through. I’ll have to contact my antique dealer friends to see if they know anywhere I can find the caning material again. I heard 10+ years ago from an experienced antique dealer that to have caning custom woven, they charge for every hole in the material-yikes!

Everything you do is amazing, and I would definitely watch all 6 hours of any video that you would make! 20 minutes is just too short. Your voice is so soothing, and your interactions with those beautiful cats make me smile. I am a cat slave for my two girls. Three others have passed in the last three years. I miss them dearly.

    Jay, I agree with you on the shellac (it's hard AND easy). But, you 'can' dab a bit of denatured alcohol on the drip and rub it gently with a cotton swab if you want to get it before it's totally dry. It won't (or will be LESS likely) to leave a mark. 😀
