types of weaves

hand cane

Traditional 7-step pattern woven using holes around the seat frame. Check for loops and knots visible on the underside of the seat. Hand cane is priced at $4 per hole.

pressed cane

Sheet cane is "pressed" into a groove that runs around the seat frame and is held in place with a reed spline and glue. Pressed cane is $135 for
​a standard size seat.

rush

Material is woven continuously around the seat rails and creates
a triangle pattern. Rush is $10-12
​per inch measured on the longest dimension.

ALL PIECES WILL BE TREATED WITH CARE AND RESPECT
