Natural Environments is a chair caning and seat weaving business in Waukesha County Wisconsin started in 1980.
I offer expert weaving in:
- hand caning
- pre-woven cane
- Shaker tape
- reeds
- Danish cord
- binder cane weaves
Your piece is not just a chair or just a rocker, it is a memory of gatherings with friends and family, and of hours spent rocking generations of babies.
I learned to weave on a child’s rocker and high chair which have been in our family for 4 generations.
I work with individuals, refinishers, antique dealers and decorators. And I take pride in restoring pieces to an attractive, useful state again.
Make your appointment by phone or email today and then send a picture to share with me so we can discuss your project.

Carrie Weiss, owner of Black Swamp Seat Weaving, LTD, was taught to weave by her grandmother at the early age of 15.
Her grandmother patiently taught her to take pride in her work, weave the best she possibly can, and to continually challenge herself.
After 45+ years, she continues to do this to this very day.
Over the years since Carrie first began weaving, she has expanded her abilities to include ALL forms of weaving, such as, hand cane, blind cane, cane webbing, rush, splint, and wicker.
She works on weaving projects for individuals, museums, refinishers, upholsterers, interior decorators, and many others.
