One Winter Project Update

Our Winter has been full of many projects, but one of the most
exciting has been learning how to cane a chair.  This chair was a curbside find from good friends 
and it graced our front porch beautifully until the seat fell through.  That is a rather significant problem 
for a rocking chair.  The lovely thing is that Dad is an expert at caning chairs - rush, cane or reed and so lessons began.  This week we finished the seat and began the back of the chair.  Here are some before pictures to remind us of the process when we are happily sitting on the chair this summer





We may stain the reed when we see the finished project but for now
we're enjoying the finished weave.
