Chair Caning Chair caning dates back to Egyptian times. The earliest example is a woven daybed belonging to King Tutankhamen from 1325 B. C. Chair seat weaving was practiced in South East Asia, Portugal, France and England in the mid-1600s. It became very popular and was extensively used up until the early 1900s. The techniques and materials have not changed much over the years and only a few common tools are necessary. The strand chair cane used in seat weaving is the shiny, glossy inner bark from the trunk of the rattan palm. This palm is a vine plant that grows in Malaysia, China, Singapore and Hong Kong. Some confuse chair caning with wicker-style furniture, but they are two different things. Chair caning is the craft of applying rattan cane to a piece of wooden furniture such as the backs or seats of chairs. Wicker is the craft of weaving various materials -- willow, rattan reeds or man-made paper cording -- into furniture. There are three types of chair caning – hand caning, pre-woven cane, and fiber rush. Hand caning is when the caning is woven onto the piece of furniture. Pre- woven cane is usually a machine-made sheet of caning that is applied to the furniture using glue and small dowel pieces. Lastly, fiber rush is a tough grade paper fiber twisted into a long strand. It is used on square chair seats with dowel rails. Which type of caning do you find interesting? If you learned to chair cane, what piece of furniture would you add caning to – a bed like the Egyptians, a table, or maybe a stool?

Q 11 U563 CRLSSI BULLETIN 147 MAP U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM 's SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM Bulletin 147 ARCHEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL INVESTIGATIONS IN SAMANA DOMINICAN REPUBLIC BY HERBERT W. KRIEGER Curator of Ethnology, United States National Museum UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE WASHINGTON : 1929 For sale by ths Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. Price 40 Cents ADVERTISEMENT The scientific publications of the National Museum include two series, known, respectively, as Proceedings and Bulletin. The Proceedings, begun in 1878, is intended primarily as a medium for the publication of original papers, based on the collections of the National Museum, that set forth newly acquired facts in biology, anthropology, and geology, with descriptions of new forms and revisions of limited groups. Copies of each paper, in pamphlet form, are distributed as published to libraries and scientific organ- izations and to specialists and others interested in the different subjects. The dates at which these separate papers are published are recorded in the table of contents of each of the volumes. The Bulletin, the first of which was issued in 1875, consist of a series of separate publications comprising monographs of large zoological groups and other general systematic treatises (occasion- ally in several volumes), faunal works, reports of expeditions, cata- logues of type-specimens, special collections, and other material of similar nature. The majority of the volumes are octavo in size, but a quarto size has been adopted in a few instances in which large plates were regarded as indispensable. In the Bulletin series appear volumes under the heading Contributions from the United States National Herharium, in octavo form, published by the National Museum since 1902, which contain papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum.

Studi specifici relativi agli aspetti tassonomici e biologici del rattan, indirizzati al miglioramento della conoscenza sulle caratteristiche biologiche delle numerose specie e dei possibili sistemi di sviluppo e di gestione silvicolturale delle piantagioni, hanno una storia recente. Essi hanno preso il via solo a partire dagli anni ’70, a seguito della scarsa disponibilità del materiale in natura. Nel presente elaborato si sono indagati gli aspetti biologici e silviculturali del rattan. Su queste

In Cambodia, 18 species have been recorded so far and most of them are daily used by local communities and supplying the rattan industry. Meanwhile, with rattan resources decreasing due to over-harvesting and loss of forest ecosystem there is an urgent need to stop this trend and find ways to conserve this biodiversity that play an important economic role for the country. This manual is one step towards sustainable rattan management as it allows to show/display the diversity of rattan and its contribution.
