We weave strand cane, sometimes called lace cane, and loom-woven (pressed cane), wide binding cane, and splints.
We gladly stain to match the original material and furniture. And are always more than willing to discuss your seat weaving needs including giving free estimates.
Nothing leaves our shop until it’s perfect — count on it! References available upon request.

Hank’s Cane & Rush Restoration specializes in Hand Cane, Machine Cane Webbing, Paper Rush, Danish Cord, Shaker Tape and more. Sadly caning and rush seat weaving are fast becoming dying art forms and it is our intent not to let that happen. Each chair we see in the shop comes with a story or has a story yet to come!
Our mission at Hank’s is to restore your chair or furniture piece while refreshing the memory that accompanies it! Or possibly it’s a chair with memories still to unfold! Whatever you do, don’t throw that chair out without talking to us first! ~ Lynn
