   If you're talking about weaving Shaker-style cloth tape, there was a good article on the subject by Glen Carlson in FWW issue #121, pp. 78-81.

         Hi Barney ,                 Can you describe the material that was on the old seats or the material you would like to use ? Most seat weaving is very simple. However different kinds have different methods and tricks, help is available for any and all types , let us know what we are dealing with in this case.

   I do not have any idea what was used when the chairs were first made. All the material has been long gone, but assume it was Rush. These chairs are probely one hundred years old but that is only a guess .

   Here are some links with weaving instructions:

   http://krypton.mnsu.edu/~wayne/Caning/ChairCaning.htm

   And here's a supplier; the link points to their plastic cane that I found useful for canoe seats, but they carry lots of chair caning stuff too.
