RS Peck offers caning, both handwoven and prewoven, in most patterns including the very difficult double-blind cane technique. I also do woodcarving of reproductions (such as missing sections on furniture and mirror frames) and original pieces.

I owned and operated a furniture restoration business in Racine, Wisconsin for 24 years, prior to closing in 2014. So if your piece needs gluing or repair, as is often required with chairs and rockers, I do provide that service.

Bayberry Seatweaving is now located in Bellevue, Nebraska, just south of Omaha, after recently moving from Canton, Massachusetts. Owner, Ted Powell had his chair caning and seatweaving business in Canton for 15 years, providing chair caning and other seatweaving services in the surrounding area.

My mother was the Extension Service agent for Dukes County on Martha’s Vineyard – great place to grow up on!!  She taught me how to refinish, cane, and rush furniture back in the sixties when I was about ten years old.

In Canton, I concentrated on single strand caning, pressed cane, paper rush, pre-twisted natural rush, and Danish cord.  I intend to keep doing these same skills and incorporating other seat weaving types as the need arises.

In addition, I provide minor restoration, re-gluing, and refinishing.  My turn-around times vary depending on what is needed and the complexity of the work.  However, because I am “retired,” I can respond quickly.  I provide free cost estimates and can usually do them using a few pictures and some seat measurements.
