My first experience with French caning (also known as Blind and Continental method) on an antique sofa or settee.
The video is for people who are familiar with the 7 step hand weaving pattern.

French caning is far more time-consuming than ordinary chair caning because the holes are not drilled all the way through the seat frame.
Having measured each strand, rattan strands are attached to the seat with a dot of glue in the hole. Pegs are used to secure the strands while waiting for the glue to cure.

This project took a while to complete because I had to learn as I went.
I couldn't find any videos online before taking on the settees. It made me pretty nervous beforehand.

I did have to restart a couple of times but it was all worth it at the end.
I loved this experience but I didn't love the pay :)
It was a last minute decision to make a video about the method because I realized I wanted to share this experience just in case someone is out there also looking for information on this method.

If you are not familiar with the 7 step seat weaving - check out the link below. I personally used this video to do my first seat 3 years ago.


Thank you for watching. And if this video helps a single bit to anyone - I will be thrilled.
