Also called: Seat Weaver, Chair Seat Restorer
Reweaves cane, rush, and splint seats on antique and modern chairs, a hand craft taught mostly person to person.
A chair caner cuts out a torn seat, soaks strands of rattan cane, and weaves them through dozens of small holes in a seven-step pattern. A big seat takes a full day; others get pressed-in sheet cane or twisted rush.
