Have a Seat-Chair Caning Using Split Reed

In Have a Seat, Amber Lanier Nagle shares her experience working with Marvin Garner—The Chair Man—and learning the lost art of caning the seat of a ladderback chair using split reed strips to form a beautiful herringbone design. She walks readers through ten easy-to-follow steps complemented by fifteen color photographs and three graphics. She covers everything from what you’ll need, where to buy it, how to weave the seat, and how to finish your project.
