Being a basket weaver I have always wanted to learn how to cane chairs. Well I found a class to join, so now I off and running. First you learn how to strip the chair with out raising the grain on the wood, fixing any cracks, and then how to finish your chair. Once you have all of this done you can start the cane on your chair. I now have my first chair done and working on my second chair. I'm very slow at this but it has been a lot of fun. Turning a garage sale find into something for family dinner is always fun. When I have my other chairs done I will be back to show off what else I have learned. Check out the adult ed classes in the areas around you and you might find a class for you to enjoy!

You did a beautiful job Rose! My dear MIL taught me to cane years ago...it's hard work. It's really a dying art. So glad to see you taking it up Rose. :)
