For years Sewell Mason remembered the man who came by his mothers house in Tennessee asking if any chairs needed recaning. Sewell watched as the man carefully wove reed through the holes of the seat, making a broken chair useful once more. 30 years later, he caned his first chair—reading from a booklet his sister sent him. Now he canes chairs as a hobby. Since caning can cost more than a chair is worth, Sewell happily teaches people, usually on beautiful antiques and family heirlooms saved from the trash by people who know one day they will refurbish them. The first three steps go quickly, but soon the careful weaving begins. Recreate the beauty of your grandmothers rocker. Learn to weave cane for classic chairs. Practice on a frame or bring an old chair in need of repair.

  • these chairs are beautiful!

  • I found an old chair in the woodpile at the dump and brought it home. The seat is a mess, so I'm going to take it off and cane a seat. I'm looking forward to working on this!

  • Zen and the Art of Chair Caning. Must take a lot of patience! Nice video!
