Thanks Artzi, this will be very helpful indeed!
Of course i'd also love to fogure out those fancy braided wraps as well.

I am, indeed, thankful to Artzi for this new skill. Now the problem becomes one of finding good rattan materials, preferably the thinner the strips the better. Any suggestions of where to purchase would be appreciated.

...and NO, I am not making baskets on commission as some jokesters have suggested!

Charles,
I've ordered from Royalwood Ltd. at Royalwood

They sell rattan for chair caning down to 1.25 mm width. I've always gotten good service from them.

Edit: You can also find it at http://www.franksupply.com/handcaning.html
and www.caneandreed.com but I've never bought from them.

Same for me. I can imagine that it is done in the same way. Waving with the needle through the horizontal wraps. would like to see some instruction in the same way for scabbard repair.

Basket weaving isn't much of a help

Did anyone happen to download the demonstration photos from Artzi? Would be a great resource to add back to this thread. It is not archived in the Wayback Machine...

Jeff,

Artzi's post was made to this forum, not the old UBB forum. If he had uploaded the pics here they would still be available. Perhaps he linked them from his server. Hopefully Charles or someone else who posted on that thread still has the pics. If nobody has them, perhaps you could write to Artzi and see if he still has them and would like to share them again.

Thank you for this information! Would it be possible to make a video of the process?
