Natural Binder Cane | |||||||
| Natural binder cane is much like strand cane in that it is also made from rattan peel; but it has been cut wider and thicker. It is a very versatile material; it is used to cover the holes in hand caning, as a seating material using the tight weave technique, as a wrapping material on wicker and rattan furniture, and as a weaver for basketry. For the tight weave or twill weave technique, we recommend the book Splint Seats for Chairs. | |||||||

| Round Reeds | |||||
| Round reed is cut from the core of rattan. It is machine cut to approximate diameters and smoothness. There will be slight differences in size and color from strand to strand. Round reeds are used for basketry, wicker and reed furniture and repair. Sizes No. 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 are popular sizes for spokes or ribs in basketry and wicker furniture. Remember to choose a weaver smaller in size than the spokes. | |||||

| Flat Reeds | ||||
| Flat and flat oval reeds are made from the core of first quality rattan. Because these reeds are easily worked when soaked in water, they are used for a wide variety of purposes. It is used in seat weaving using the herringbone pattern and for high quality baskets and wicker furniture. We recommend the book "Splint Seats for Chairs" or the book "The Caner's Handbook" for instructions for seat weaving. These reeds are put up into one pound hanks. | ||||
