I did a little more on the chair caning. I’ve started the first slow step of the process, really weaving cane through previous strands. It’s taking many times as long per hole as the earlier steps — I think six or ten times as long. I’m beginning to appreciate why getting chairs caned is expensive.
And a closer look. There are now two strands next to each other for the first six holes down the side.
Oh no! That top corner is ugly. I’ll need to push those strands closer together next time. I hope it’s not too late. I think so long as I wet them down before trying to move them it’ll be OK.
