  • Chair Caning
    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?

    Welcome to the Woodworking Glossary, a comprehensive list of woodworking terms and their definitions that will help you understand more about woodworking. Each word has a complete definition, and several have links to other pages that further explain the term. Enjoy. Woodworking Glossary A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z | #'s | A | A-Frame This is a common and strong building and construction shape where you place two side pieces in the orientation of the legs of a letter "A" shape, and then cross brace the middle. This is useful on project ends, and bases where strength is needed. Abrasive Abrasive is a term use to describe sandpaper typically. This is a material that grinds or abrades material, most commonly wood, to change the surface texture. Using Abrasive papers means using sandpaper in most cases, and you can use it on wood, or on a finish in between coats or for leveling. Absolute Humidity The absolute humidity of the air is a measurement of the amount of water that is in the air. This is without regard to the temperature, and is a measure of how much water vapor is being held in the surrounding air. Acetone Acetone is a solvent that you can use to clean parts, or remove grease. Acetone is useful for removing and cutting grease on a wooden bench top that has become contaminated with oil.

  • 7 DIY Caning Projects That Let You Try the Trendy Woven Technique at Home | Better Homes & Gardens
    8/14/2020 7 DIY Caning Projects That Let You Try the Trendy Woven Technique at Home | Better Homes & Gardens 7 DIY Caning Projects That Let You Try the Trendy Woven Technique at Home Cane furniture, a design trend that dates to ancient Egypt, is having a 21st-century moment. Here's how to bring it home in ways big and small. By Lacey Howard , Jessica Bennett and Jeni Wright August 05, 2020 Each product we feature has been independently selected and reviewed by our editorial team. If you make a purchase using the links included, we may earn commission. Although it has historical roots, caning is one of our favorite home trends of the moment. Created using thin rattan strips, the multi-directional woven pattern brings natural texture and timeless style to all types of furnishings. To try this weaving technique yourself, you'll need to purchase strands of rattan called binding cane ($14, Amazon). For a shortcut, you can also find rolls of pre-woven cane webbing ($9, Micheals) online and at fabric stores. Once you have your supplies, check out these clever DIY caning projects to create your own furniture and decor using the woven treatment. DIY Cane Headboard Three panels team up to create a cane headboard for a full-size bed (you can scale up the size of each panel for a larger bed). When you weave your own panels, you have total artistic control over the pattern and size of the weave. For instant gratification, shop for pre-woven caning material. To complete the look, we added a floating shelf above the headboard and outfitted it with plants.
