Sincere thanks for this video and the introductory one. I’ve never done anything like this before, but really enjoyed reweaving an old round stool and the result looks surprisingly professional. The videos were an excellent guide pitched at the perfect level for a beginner.
That was awesome. I picked up a round chair from facebook market place that has a hole in the center. So, Iam going to unravel it and redo the thing after first refinishing the chair. Thanx for showing how to weave the rattan seat.😊
Thank you SO MUCH for this video! It's my first time ever hand caning a chair (though I have done many cane repairs that only require the pre-weaved press in sheet) and it came out beautifully! I echo what someone else said - this was an "excellent guide pitched at the perfect level for a beginner". I will look to you guys now for all my caning needs and also check out your store for future cane purchases. Thank you again so so much for making this experience a pleasant one! I really appreciate the time you took to make this instructional video.
Thanks for the video. I just started caning and I'm blessed to have a mentor. The next chair she gives me will be round. I'm gonna blow her away! Thanks again!
Thank you for the very informative instructions on caning. Never too old to learn something new! I do upholstering and sometimes have encountered a caned chair and thought that it would be fun to learn caning.
WOW. That's all, just wow. And to think that back in the day, everyone had mad skills like this to make everything. Great to see folks who can do work like this.
I have a chair with an oval (not round) back. It's a rocker with a very high back. Do I follow the same principals as you use for the round chair? Are there modifications that I should make when caning an oval hole?
Hi Ed. I have just acquired an old cane back chair that has a wooden centre piece. I want to try and do this myself and love your videos. Today I have striped it back to the frame. Do you have any advice on what l can do. Also going to look at your web site for products. Regards Bridget
Hi there! I've been watching your videos to prepare for trying this on my round chairs. I am hoping you have a moment to share some advice about tying off on the backside if it sits in a groove? My chairs are not flat on the bottom like the one in your video. Thanks so much for the great video!
I haven’t heard you speak about the different size canes to use. I have an antique parsons chair and I used the wrong sized cane and on step 5 no less and so I have to rip it all out and start again. It’s so sad it looked beautiful too grrr
The strands are all a variety of different lengths. I suggest trying to use the longer ones for the beginning steps and the shorts ones for the weaving.
Many years have gone by since this video's post, but if you read this I would like to know how large to drill the cane holes. I am a woodturner that is experimenting with making some small 6 inch diameter boxes and caning part of the box lid. Will be having a final diameter of about 5 inches so I don't want the holes to big but also not to small. Hope you get to see this.
Hi, there is a chart on the webpage that shows hole diameter, distance from center of hole to center of hole and the proper cane size. That info should help you out. Here's a link to that page: peerlessrattan.com/product-category/strand-cane/
Thank you for taking the time to do this. Can you share where you get your materials, and is there a better or worse quality cane. How would a beginner know what to look for?
Hi, we sell new, fresh cane on our website, peerlessrattan.com we have a chart on the strand cane page that will assist you in finding the correct size cane you need. I would suggest you get a complete cane kit, it contains enough cane for one seat, plus a strip of 4mm binding cane, an awl, pegging material and a full color instruction booklet, written by Cindy Hammond, the same one in the video.
It's easy to find the center when you have an odd number of holes in each section. What do you do when the number is even? Have 16 holes in three sections and 22 holes in the front section.
My wife and I both enjoyed your video enough to tackle caning a seat in a very old rocker we have. I do have a question about color. The old caning appears to be stained, can we stain the caning to match the old or at least get close to it. Or, do we rip out the cane in the back of the chair and replace it with new. And lastly, the hardest thing I/we found about caning is keeping the caning moist enough, seems to dry our quickly. any suggestions? Dave
As far as staining - cane does have a natural finish on it - but people do stain it. It doesn't take the stain as well as wood of course - but it can be done. It's like painting on the stain. Some people spray stain and others swear by the new gel stains out there. It's a matter of experimenting to achieve your particular style.
I have a round seat in which the cane broke or got cut, and now the break is spreading. I have been thinking about caning it myself (so thank you for the wonderful video). What instructions booklets and caning material do I need to get for this project? I am not sure what size cane material I need, but my chair looks exactly like the one in your video.
+Digitallogic We have a chart on our website that will tell you what size cane you need. We sell a complete kit that has all the cane, tools and instructions that you need. It's all at peerlessrattan.com
I watched this video and the seven step video. I seem to have missed something. How long do you soak the cane before using it. Thanks! Very helpful videos.
Thanks for the instructions, what's to do with 4 to6 inch pieces of cane left under the seat, they won't be held in if just cut off. Look forward to your reply. Many Thanks
you can watch a video that shows how to pull the stand though another hole and as use pull other strands through and these secure the loose ends in l=place have been doing this for years now without problems. there is a video on here about this process@@edhammond2497

I recently purchased a caning kit from Comcraft. Having trouble with cane, splitting and breaking. Is there a difference in cane quality? If so where can I purchase a better quality cane. Thanks
Rol Johnson Cane quality is an industry-wide issue, we are all getting cane processed in China, it's up to the ones putting the cane hanks and coils together to choose good strands. I can't answer for Comcraft, but our cane is sold daily and we always have fresh new cane on hand at peerlessrattan.com

You should use the "no knot" method, we have a free video on that here:

Great video! Thanks so much. Beginner here. Do the strands come precut to a certain length or do you cut it. If so how long?
The strands are all a variety of different lengths. I suggest trying to use the longer ones for the beginning steps and the shorts ones for the weaving.
How long does it normally take to cane a chair for a beginner, usually?

How do you add pieces of cane? do you leave all the pieces until the end? If so I guess you need lots more pegs
The video explains how to add more cane, you don't need many pegs at all. You could also try the no-knot method, check out that video.

How often do you have to recane the chair?
