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!

Serving North-East Pa. and the Southern Tier of New York. Pick-up and delivery available, but charge may be necessary.
As I have wandered around N.E. Penna. doing my thing and caning anything in my path, It has always been frustrating to describe different weaves and methods, the difference between caning, splinting, rushing, porch caning, etc., etc. Hopefully, since everyone now a days seems to have access to a computer, I'll have this photo blog to help educate (or confuse!) potential customers or caner.Perhaps a word of wisdom found along the way will be thrown in for fun and I'll try and post your pictures and comments/questions too!
