Hello steemit friends,
Hope you like my creativity.
STEP 1: clean out spine channel aroun seat rail. Repair any tear outs, smooth inside edge of channel.
Clean entire channel.
After soaking sheet of a cane.for 2 hours in 140 degree water remove from water and shake for excess. Stretch cane over seat opening and begin tapping spline down into groove. Secure front edge of cane with short section of spline.
Move on to back rail and tap can down into groove. Secure with another section of spline.
Now begin tapping cane down into groove on side and secure.
Now begin tapping cane down into groove on side and secure.
Complete by tapping cane by other side and secure.
After completing the installation of the cane around the entire perimeter of the seat rail (working cane into a groove with pegs and 1/2 clothes pin) begin removal of excess cane with sharf box knife (very carefully) or sharf chisel and small hammer. Cutting cane just below the top of edge of groove on the outside edge. Using scissors cut cane down to the ends of spline cleats which are holding the cane n place.
While glue seat a few minutes, go ahead and measure the seat perimeter and cut spline just a bit longer than the actual measurements needed. Begin I stalling the spline and center back if seat and continue around entire seat rail. Using with cutter cut spline fit and complete by tapping the spline down into grove using a small blocks of wood and small hammer. Spline should only be slightly higher than char seat rails.
Once you have remove the"cleats" of spline you can continue to cut away the remaining section of cane. After completely removing all excess cane, go back one more time and make sure the cane is worked entirely down into the groove or channel around the entire seat perimeter. Once complete, insert woods glue into channel all the way around.
Finally done!
I hope you like it.
