Welcome to HandCaning.com

 Back in the '70s, my parents bought a 200-year-old house in the Hampton's in NY.
In a carriage garage that had a full coal bin for the potbelly stove, in order to keep her family warm in the home.
    My Mom, Dee, found a magnificent Lincoln rocker buried in all kinds  of furniture and junk, where coaches would be parked. Across the  driveway was an old Haybarn including an exterior door on the second  level that was used to load and unload the hay for horses.
    Meanwhile, Dee had noticed that when she was in the town shopping,  she saw a guy who did furniture stripping. She remembered that rocker in  the garage and thought about removing all the ugly coats of paint off  it. Being striped for a few days, she went to get the rocker when it was  done. Thrilled that she found it is a Tigerwood Maple rocker with all  its paint removed. Except A little disappointed, the Hand caning on the  back and the seat did not survive the harsh chemicals of stripping and  now needs to be replaced. Not to mention, she has to pay for the  stripping, and now have a rocker that no one can sit in. She asked him  if he knew anyone who can replace the material. Holding his chin with  his hand, looking at the rocker, he had to come up with a solution being  he knows no one who can repair it.
     He looked around his workshop and found some material that he had  received from a customer once. He tried to convince her that maybe she  could use it to reweave the chair. Now Dee had a new challenge. She went  to the local library and found a book on Hand caning. At first, it  looked overwhelming to consider such a task, but she was determined to  get this rocker usable, being she just spent money on stripping it and  the nice guy who did the stripping gave her some material.
     Turns out she found the patience and a knack to understanding the  pattern to weave such an enormous job. She refinished the wood with  varnish by hand and was very proud of her accomplishment.
     Weeks later an old friend came over to visit to have tea. She  noticed the beautiful rocker in the room and asked her where she got it.  Dee told her the story of how it all went about, and then her friend  said that she has an old chair with the same kind of seat, and has been  broken for years. Dee’s friend asked if she could fix it for her and  that she would pay her for it.
                Dee grew the business starting in 1971 naming it *Dee’s Caning* and it’s been word of mouth ever since.
      

NEW Invented Procedure:

 Hand Cain Look A Like/ Pre woven press Caning
HAND CANE CONVERT TO PRESS CANE  TO LOOK LIKE HAND CANE
Takes up to 3 Hrs of work
(1-2 weeks or sooner wait time for the workload ahead of you.)
Please note: Press cane material is a pre-woven material that is woven to factory perfection.
Don't worry if the frame in the seat is cracked or broken along the holes in it.
This process can also strengthen and hold it together better than traditional Hand Caning.
A Special tool cuts a groove along the holes creating a channel to press  sheet caning and a Special spline is made to mimic the look of Hand  caning.
Also, the old caning that was tied under the chair is glued in place to give the appearance of caning woven through.
 

Text me a picture with measurements to get an exact price. Runs approximately $130 to $180  for a chair.
