How Does Your Cane Bottom Look? Or Bottoms Up!
Today’s Wednesday Wicker Wisdom deals with the way the bottom or underneath side of a hole-to-hole cane chair looks, NOT your own bottom, thankfully!
How neatly do you tie off the ends of your cane strands? Hopefully yours doesn’t look like the one below in the picture.
This is the way you do NOT want to tie off knots when chair caning!
This is about the worst job of tying cane knots on the bottom of a chair seat as I have ever seen! And to top it all off, the caning pattern was done all wrong, too.
