7 Step Chair Caning

Verne Ramsey, Instructor

The chair caning class consists of the basic 7 step method of caning a chair. We will go through each step starting with removing the old cane, lacing the new cane from hole to hole, tying off each step and then finish with the binder cane that completes the chair.
