Hi, we sell new, fresh cane on our website, peerlessrattan.com we have a chart on the strand cane page that will assist you in finding the correct size cane you need. I would suggest you get a complete cane kit, it contains enough cane for one seat, plus a strip of 4mm binding cane, an awl, pegging material and a full color instruction booklet, written by Cindy Hammond, the same one in the video.

Ed Hammond Thank you so much! Now I just have to find a broken chair to practice on.

As far as staining - cane does have a natural finish on it - but people do stain it. It doesn't take the stain as well as wood of course - but it can be done. It's like painting on the stain. Some people spray stain and others swear by the new gel stains out there. It's a matter of experimenting to achieve your particular style.

The strands are all a variety of different lengths. I suggest trying to use the longer ones for the beginning steps and the shorts ones for the weaving.

At the end of the video we explain how to tie off the strands that are left sticking down. We do not recommend cutting them off.

you can watch a video that shows how to pull the stand though another hole and as use pull other strands through and these secure the loose ends in l=place have been doing this for years now without problems. there is a video on here about this process@@edhammond2497

Hi, there is a chart on the webpage that shows hole diameter, distance from center of hole to center of hole and the proper cane size. That info should help you out. Here's a link to that page: peerlessrattan.com/product-category/strand-cane/

Yes just follow the same seven steps!

Rol Johnson Cane quality is an industry-wide issue, we are all getting cane processed in China, it's up to the ones putting the cane hanks and coils together to choose good strands. I can't answer for Comcraft, but our cane is sold daily and we always have fresh new cane on hand at peerlessrattan.com

Just ordered a supply from you. Thanks for response.

+Sidney Pendergrass It could last 20 to 50 years, but if someone stands on it or kneels on it, it could break at any time.

The video explains how to add more cane, you don't need many pegs at all. You could also try the no-knot method, check out that video.

Hola, nunca hemos manchado ni coloreado el bastón. Le decimos a los clientes que somos tejedores profesionales, pero que no tenemos experiencia en la tinción. Sugerimos que lleven la silla recién caneada a un restaurador de muebles, que tiene todas las manchas, tintes y lacas en aerosol a mano. Pueden hacer un trabajo profesional en la tinción, nosotros haremos el trabajo profesional en el tejido del asiento. Dicho esto, si buscas en Google la frase "cómo teñir el bastón", verás muchas opiniones y videos de RU-vid de personas que lo han hecho. Ed

I'm sorry, does it get easier to see as the video goes on? You can also contact us at sales@peerlessrattan.com
