Strand Cane

Strand Cane is made from the shiny inner bark of the rattan plant.  We sell the prime select quality strand cane (best available) which usually has lengths of 8' and up.  Each hank is approximately 1000 ft. and will do 4 average seats of approximately 12" x 12" size.  The size cane needed for a seat is determined by measuring the size of the holes and the distance between the holes from center to center.

Cane Webbing:

Caning has been coming in darker in color than in the past.

Cane webbing is "sheet" chair cane in which the warp and weft has been prewoven on a loom. The diagonals have been woven in by hand. It is used on furniture that has a groove or channel around the outside edge of the seat opening. To determine the size needed -- measure from groove to groove (front to back and side to side) and add 2" to each measurement.
