Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe. Albert Einstein

Another Country Settee

Another settee that was originally a single rope bed. A little modification with the lathe and some plugs turned useless and broken to useful and country. I sold it withe a rope seat in it complete with pins and rope but the new owner requested a woven splint seat. I'll admit, I seriously under-estimated this project thinking I only needed three bundles of splint.....you're looking at all three installed. This will take at least another 1 1/2 - 2 bundles. In thirty years of weaving, this is probably only the fourth or fifth I've done....three this year alone!

It ain't what they call you, it's what you answer to. W. C. Fields

Finally at last.....5mm porch cane and a lot of it! I might have to re-think on how to price this type of work. This is done in a two-over weave and took all of eight hours....if it had been herringbone weaving probably 12-14 hours. Two rolls of cane at $19.75 each. All my cane comes from H. H. Perkins...used them for as long as I can remember, 20 yrs. at least.
