More completed projects.
The Lincoln rockers each had 72 holes of medium sized cane. Typical.
The othe panel has 134 holes of Fine-Fine cane whew a lot of work for these large old fingers.
Very happy with the good looking bottoms. 😄
Happy these are back At Ackerman’s Furniture Service in Burnsville Mn.

Three of a kind. Interesting how projects happen to come in. These three Lincoln rockers arrived, from three different people, & are next three on the todo list.

A close look at the wood shows quite an age difference, from maybe 100+ years old, to maybe 80 years old, to 50 years old (when this person bought it originally).

So you know what I’ll be doing for the next few weeks.

Three ready to go home. Three different types of seats.
Hand woven cane seat.
Punched leather seat.
Pressed cane seat on a youth rocker.

I like the details in each piece.
Note the couched corners in the hand woven. Also the underside is knotless & very very neat. Perhaps the best work I’ve done.

I don’t often get opportunities to weave a rush seat like this. Maybe 2-3 a year. My wife gave me a compliment: “Your starting to do a much better job on these”. 🤔😉👨‍🦳 my early work on Rush seats may NOT have met her quality standards I guess. Anyway, I’m happy with this work.

Hitchcock, ladder back, painted chair with Fibre Rush hand woven seat.

Two coats of 50/50 Amber Shellack & Denatured Alcohol applied for protection.

Ready to be displayed at home.

Just keep trying to improve.
This may be my best weaving of a caned seat. Note the underside & how well the cane looks. As I progress, the quality of caning is as important topside, as underneath.

A very beautiful Oak chair from maybe 1880’s to 1920’s. Note the 3 rungs all the way around.

Beautiful chair!!!

Two rocker seat finished this week. The back needs recaning on one rocker, but “customer knows best” or DOES NOT! Anyway this may come back again & cost them more.

Notice the swoop seat in the one rocker. Have to get the tension right to maintain the curvature.
