Chair Caning & Seat Weaving Supplies

Cane Webbing

Cane webbing is generally used in chair seats and backs where a groove has been routed in the frame. Cane webbing is also used for cabinet doors, speaker enclosures, vents, folding screens and much more. How to measure for the correct piece of webbing? It is best to measure the opening from groove to groove at the widest dimension in each direction, then add 2 inches to dimension when ordering. Note that the W901 is the most popular open weave. When determining the open mesh size, remember that it is the measurement from the center of one hole to the next, not the size of the hole in the pattern. The thickness of the cane can vary from 1/16" on the smaller patterns to 3/32" on the larger patterns.

Finishing of Cane Webbing

Usually, Natural Cane can be finished with Varnish or Urethane products, with the stain mixed in the finish and used a topical application. They can be painted with a brush or wiped with a rag. When selecting the color to match, always take a piece of the old cane to your paint store. And of course, follow all instructions for the safe use of finishes as described on the can. See the "Did You Know" button above for instructions on how to install cane to cabinet doors.

Paper Cane Webbing

Paper cane webbing is very porous and will take on water quickly - so soak in room temperature water for 5 minutes, remove and shake off the excess. It is also best to support the webbing with a cardboard piece placed in the panel for the paper cane to rest on while being installed to keep it from sagging and make it easier to fold into the groove straight. Applying a sanding sealer to the paper cane before finishing will make a proper color match easier using a varnish or urethane with the stain already added. Of course, keep some of the scrap to experiment on staining before hand. "Once you put it down you can't take it back".

Reed Spline
Reed Spline is the wedge-shaped reed that is used to hold the cane webbing into the groove around the seat frame. Spline is flexible and is bent into coils for easy shipping. When in doubt about size, send a sample of the Spline from the chair. If you are routing a new groove, make the groove 1/16" deeper than the Spline to be used.
