Jordan Cane Weaving

Hand Cane:  Strands of cane hand woven through the holes in the chair seat or back.  A six step process concluding with the familiar octagon shaped holes.

Pressed Cane:  Prewoven cane put in the groove in the frame held in by spline.

Blind Weave:  Hand woven into the frame when the holes do not go tall the way through the frame. Therefore, each hole is pegged during weaving.

Flat Weave:  A flat reed cane woven by hand in different patterns, usually a herringbone design.

Rush:  A fiber material woven around the frame of the chair or back coming to a point in the center.  Most rush chairs are ladderback chairs.

Wicker:  All different kinds of wicker furniture needing to be rewrapped or repaired in some way including "rolled arms".
