wrought iron chairs

[Unregistered-MarieLaveau]

I found two lovely wrought iron patio chairs. They were covered with ratan type weave that is worn and needs replaced. Both the back and seats are in need of repair. Any ideas on how to bring these two lovelies back to life? They are extremely heavy too. Thank you.

Here’s a website that has supplies and instructions to recane your chairs……

Often you can find a local resource that teaches the art/craft of recaning….You learn while-you-do…… you work on your two chairs in the week or two class….Adult education ……Vocational/community college……”furniture refinishing-caning”……

“…measure once…..cut twice….throw that one away and cut a new one….”
