    Our Caning & Seat Weaving Process

    Caning takes patience and the right materials. Here's how we bring a woven seat back to life.

    01

    Assess the Seat

    We examine the existing weave, material, and frame condition.

    02

    Source Materials

    We match the right cane, rush, or weaving material for an authentic result.

    03

    Hand-Weave & Finish

    Each strand is woven by hand for strength and a clean, traditional look.
