Cane chair & seat repairs

Traditional woven cane work is created in-situ using holes drilled through the frame of the seat or chair. Chair frames are frequently curved, resulting in beautiful sweeping cane panels. Intricate sunburst patterns can be woven into the cane. Circular patterns can created in the backs of chairs with the cane woven around a central 'medallion'. Each piece is repaired individually so as to retain the original shape and pattern.

More modern furniture, like Habitat chairs, frequently use sheet cane. Examples can be seen here.
