Antique chairs often were caned using the hand woven method. Then in the 1950's chairs caned with prewoven sheets of cane became prevalent. FYI: Cane is the peeled bark from the rattan vine and has been used in furniture and basketry for hundreds of years.
Which ever way your chair was originally caned it will have to be re-caned the same way again. 2 On the left you can see me pressing the spline into the groove or channel that the sheet of cane is tucked into. This is held in place with water based wood glue so it's easier to remove should the chair ever need re-caning down the road.

Why Restore
Report
Why restoring your existing cane and rush chairs makes sense. If you've been thinking of replacing your existing chairs with new, think again. The chairs of yesteryear were often built with higher grades of lumber from old growth forest. These chairs were also built by old line furniture manufactures who crafted their wares in the European tradition with pride and structural integrity.
What is chair cane
Report
Cane for chair caning is actually the peeled bark of the rattan vine. Rattan, of the liana plant species, is a spiny climbing palm that grows in tropical forests throughout Southeast Asia attaining lengths of over 600 feet, though some of that length is lying on the forest floor.
Rattan cane is quite different from bamboo which is hollow, rigid and grows strait up supporting itself, where as rattan cane is solid but flexible and needs the support of surrounding trees to climb in search of light.Its economic value helps preserve tropical rain forest by providing a profitable alternative to timber logging.

All the work has been excellent. Google ***** Marty Muir ~ 6/22/15 The cane seat on my wife's 30 year old bentwood rocker was broken by some over exuberant kids. I could not find a chair caner in Arizona were we live but did find Citizen Cane on the internet and decided to give them a shot at fixing it so we boxed up the seat which was easily removed from the rocker and sent it parcel post per Paul's instructions.
