5.0 out of 5 stars Great information for rushing, January 20, 2007
By Mary M. A. Evans "megerina" (Colorado Springs, Colorado United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review of Manual
This manual helped us to re seat the chairs that Mother had purchased yrs ago. That means a lot to me.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fix your own stuff!
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seat Repair
This book is detailed so that a first timer could work there way through caning a seat if desired. I already do this type of craft but hope that others will try it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Comstock handbook
I have found this book very useful in guiding me through the process of weaving chair seats and backs. It is well illustrated and the instructions are clear.
