Has anyone ever used the video on how to use / apply pre-woven cane ? Rockler has it as well as some other catalog companies.
I have a chair that had some other problems, but the customer also wants the cane back replaced. I’m thinking of ordering the video, but at $29.99 a copy, I’m hesitant.
If anyone has seen it, pls give me your opinion as to the usefulness of it. I’ve never done caning, so I’m as rank an amateur as you’ve ever seen.
Also, how do you stain the rattan ? As I understand it, the prewoven stuff is made from real rotan, and the surface is shiny like bamboo.
Any hints will be greatly appreciated.

The video will probably give you some good guide lines and methods to emulate . A chair back can be a bit energetic for the first piece to learn on . You can stain and seal the cane just the same as the wood part of the chair . Good Luck dusty
I mix a shader in pre -cat and blow that .Found that stain on its own woud'nt take evenly
