Description
Create an attractive chair seat, skillfully woven by hand from natural fibers, can be a source of pride for its creator. With this guidebook, do-it-yourselfers can master the fine art of weaving and fabricating chair seats. Professor Comstock's book is abundantly illustrated with more than 160 step-by-step photographs and drawings, showing how to make seats from a variety of natural materials, including cane, rush, rope, and twine. The guide covers all aspects of the subject, from selecting materials to preparing the chair and finishing the seat. Craftworkers looking for a new medium of expression will find this manual an inspirational guide to learning a distinctive craft. The skills acquired can be practical, considering the high costs of professional caning and related techniques.
