3/3 I had to undo so much of my work even as I got into the diagonals that I actually got pretty comfortable with the process of spacing and tensioning the caning. I eventually finished with the top and the border and then concentrated on underneath. I used a modified version of the "no knot" for hiding the ends of the caning, which I think turned out pretty good.

1/3 My first chair caning project. Actually my only caning project so far.

The chair was in pretty good shape when I got it so I stripped it, tightened up a few joints, and then painted it.

I initially wanted to paint it barn red, but it ended up hot pink so rather than strip it again I just painted over it in pitch black. This was my second milk paint project, which turned out much better than the first.
