Wooden chair caning wedges
Applying sheet cane webbing? Having problems getting the caning down into the grove? Try using some specially made wooden chair caning wedges to insert the cane webbing into the groove around the perimeter of the panel.
Trim sharp edges of chair caning wedges
Since the ends of the chair caning wedges are rather sharp and might cut the caning as you are pushing it into the groove, it’s best to trim those sharp edges. Just draw a rounded edge with a pencil and take your sharp scissors and trim the edge.
After cutting and rounding wedge, sand until smooth.
After cutting and rounding off the edge of the caning wedge, take a piece of sandpaper and smooth the edge or using a sanding sponge to round it off.
