 HOW TO CANE AND RE-CANE CHAIR SEATS & BACKS It's a sad day when a favorite old chair loses its seat... or when the back falls apart on Grammas little red chair. But it can easily be repaired... with the right knowledge. This is a wonderful old set of instructions for caning chairs... From the document: "There are but few households that do not have at least one or two chairs without a seat or back. The same households may have someone who would enjoy recaning the chairs if he only knew how to do it, and also make considerable pin money by repairing chairs for the neighbors. If the following directions are carried out, new cane seats and backs can easily be put in chairs where they are broken or sagged to an uncomfortable position."
