2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed
I received this pamplet (not really a book). It was less instructive than I expected and didn't offer as many pictures as I had hoped for.

This review is from: Making Chair Seats from Cane, Rush and Other Natural Materials (Paperback)
This is the first rush weaving book I've read which has actually given the process for natural rush work, as well as how to use fiber rush. We will be using this as an adjunct to a video on rush weaving we have also bought to rerush our dining room chairs.

I also appreciated the other seat-weaving techniques presented. this is a fairly straightforward book which gives out good process information.

This was a common skill for housewives to teach their daughters. My Grandmother would fix up old chairs every spring. A good book to have if you don't know how.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not very detailed, December 16, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Making Chair Seats from Cane, Rush and Other Natural Materials (Paperback)
Not a whole lot of detail to this book. It was cheap and good thing it was because it was a waste of money. There are better books out there.
