Rush Seats

Product ID: V101V

Category: Video Instructions

Description: Instructional Video Rush Seating. Rush is a misnomer - it is one of the slowest forms of caning, second only to the hand woven cane methods. Plan on using a lot of muscle if you want a rush seat. There is a lot of pulling and tugging involved. The original rush materials were the leaves of cattails. They were harvested in the fall, dried, rolled, and woven into durable seats. The modern, most available material is paper rush, made of Kraft paper, it is available in coils or reels.
This video teaches you how to weave the seat pattern most commonly used. It is installed on a chair so you will see all the details needed to do the job correctly.

Hand Cane

Product ID: V103D

Category: Video Instructions

Description: 7 Step hand woven Cane: Thin strips of cane are woven through holes in the chair seat. Chairs that require this type of seat are characterized by holes drilled (somewhat) uniformly around the perimeter of the seat. Check the sides of the seat: there should not be any breaks or missing wood. Square or rectangular seats are easiest for the beginner. Avoid caning an oval or round seat as your first project.
This Instructional Video will teach you the ins and outs of hand caning.

Ash Splint Herring Bone Weave

Product ID: V104V

Category: Video Instructions

Description: Instructional Video Herring Bone Weave: Flat Reed: The American Indian first used ash splint to weave baskets. The ash splint then was used for chair seats, and became an authentic American folk craft. There are still folk artists who weave both baskets and chair seats with ash they have harvested and cut themselves. Due to the time consuming difficulty of harvesting, the price for commercially produced ash is extremely high. Flat reed, again a product of the Far East, is commonly used for these seats. Look for chairs that have rungs at the seat instead of flat wood. In this Video you will learn to weave the pattern known as the Herring Bone weave pattern.
