Cane webbing
The fastest way to a new cane seat: prewoven webbing, pressed into a groove and locked in with a spline.
Level: BeginnerDelivered by email a few minutes after payment.
Many chairs have a groove around the seat instead of holes. For those, you use prewoven cane webbing that’s pressed in and locked with a spline.
It’s a good first project: you can finish it in an afternoon, and the result looks like it came from the workshop.
What you’ll learn
- Remove the old webbing and spline
- Measure and soak the webbing
- Press the webbing into place so it sits straight
- Glue and set the spline
- Let it dry and trim the edges
