Cane can be worked in a number of different methods. This
is a variation of the 6 way pattern. Some patterns are worked with
just 4 layers of cane which, though attractive on arm and rear panels,
are generally unsuitable for seats.
repair of damaged cane
It is sometimes possible, if damage to the existing cane is not too great,
to repair cane work rather than completely replace it. The damaged canes
are removed and new canes of matching colour are woven into their place.
Please note - the quality of the existing cane is important - if it is very
old it may be too brittle for this treatment.
