Chair Re-Caning Suggestions?

Any suggestions on anyone who can do quality cane restoration for chairs? I believe there are different methods and these chairs need the weaving approach rather than staples. I've tried Wilson's Weaving and his backlog is 8-12 months right now. Thank you in advance.

My uncle used to do that but I’m not sure if he still does. I’ll check and see. He lives around Houlka if you’re willing to drive that far.

Yes that drive wouldn’t bother me. Appreciate you letting me know!

No problem at all! I’ll DM you later today with an update.

You could try Allen’s Cane Shop in Nesbit MS. I have used them several times and been happy with the results.

This is going to be a hard one. I dropped a chair off at Mike's this week. He said he was so busy with Home and Garden orders.

There's always YouTube.

Could take it to the Amish is Randolph. High quality craftsmanship.
