I have a friend who canes chairs and it looked like fun. Since she does not live close by and I saw this video at the Cloquet Public Library I took it out. The first time I just watched it all of the way through. The second time I took it out I had a chair and caned it within 10 hours. It is so informative, so easy to follow. Jane Nelson is a wonderful teacher and I am so happy that I was able to purchase this for my very own.

I have a chair that needs to be caned and I saw this video. I believe that I can cane my chair after viewing the video. She tells you what materials you need and shows you how to weave the cane

I had never caned before in my life and took this video out from the library. I caned an antique chair I found at a yard sale and it came out GREAT! I want a copy of this video for my own. Hope it becomes available again soon.

I cane chairs and checked this video out of the local library to see if I could learn some new tricks. I did. Jane Nelson demonstrates the right way and wrong way to cane. Some books discuss creating "X's" at the edges but Jane Nelson shows one how to get this effect even when the hole spacing might be less than ideal. Her demonstration of finishing the bottom should be watched by many caners who leave the bottom unfinished because it cannot be seen.

Her demonstration of applying prewoven cane is better than I was taught or I have read.

This video is worth every penny if one wants to learn to cane.
