Still chair caning at 90 years of age!
October 23rd, 2008 · Comments Off · Weavin' Wicker Woman Blog
90-year old Imogene Reddick in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma is still chair caning on a regular basis and has a thriving business, serving all of Oklahoma and beyond!
Imogene, owner of Reddick Family Chair Caning, contacted me several years ago wanting to advertise her skills on my new Furniture Repair Directory and at that time, was already in her late 80s. Now she reported that she’s reached 90 years of age and is still going strong!
She continues to advertise the family owned chair caning business in the Furniture Repair Directory and continues to get a great deal of business from the ad, pulling from the whole state of Oklahoma and more.
Congratulations Imogene, you are an inspiration to us all!

Wicker Brass Toe Caps
October 13th, 2008 · Comments Off · Weavin' Wicker Woman Blog
For those of you that have been in the wicker repair business for a while, you know how hard it’s been to find replacement parts for those brass toe caps on the bottom of the legs of wicker chairs, tables and what not. But fear no more!
B & E Emporium to the rescue! They are located in Michigan and also are also frequent contributors to the conversations on the Seatweaving, Chair Caning and Wicker Repair Forum, where someone asked where to purchase the brass toe caps.
Owner Craig Phillips has them listed on their website, B & C Emporium and carries them in their store too. Take a look at the heading Reproduction: Duncan Phyfe Toe Caps–Brass Plated Steel Toe Caps #1200, 1″ high 7/8″ inside diameter.
Thanks Craig for letting us know about your great supply house!
