Manual chair caning Part 2 – Unweaving the rattan edges

26 / 66

The second part of our guide focuses on preparing the rattan sheets for a traditional thonet chair with pre-drilled holes. For this manual chair caning technique, the edges of the pre-woven material must be carefully unwoven by about 10 cm to release the individual rattan strands. These strands are then threaded through the holes in the frame to secure the seat. High-quality rattan roll material is essential for this process to prevent snapping during weaving. Whether you are professional or a DIY enthusiast working on a radiator cover panel or a rattan room divider, using premium cane ensures a beautiful, long-lasting result.
