Encountered a rocker with a very simple 6mm binder cane open basket weave. Finishing off the ends of heavier cane like this is a challenge to keep neat and clean. I used some spline reed plugs glued in with hide glue in several spots where tying in to adjacent loops was untidy.

Very interesting. Do you think it was a failed attempt at the 6 step weave? I know 6mm is pretty hefty but do you think it will hold up? I would be a little leery putting my 235lb but in the seat. It does look nice.
ReplyDeleteThe customer was interested to have it restored as is existed. I questioned whether it had been made for cushions. The chair has a very light frame in the first place.
