Rush and Other Supplies
| Fibre Rush | |||||
| Light Kraft | Regular Kraft Brown | ||||
 
| Fibre rush is a very durable one ply, twisted paper made to resemble real twisted bull rushes. There is no collecting, drying, soaking, flattening and twisting that is required as in natural rush; thus saving hours of work. Sizing up your Chair To determine the size of rush used in your chair, measure the number of strands per inch in your existing chair. All sizes will vary a little. |  | |||
| Size | Dia. | Approx Strands / Inch | Approx Feet / Lb. | ||
| #3 | 3/32" | 10 | 306 | ||
| #4 | 1/8" | 8 | 255 | ||
| #5 | 5/32" | 6 | 210 | ||
| #6 | 3/16" | 5 | 145 | ||
| #7 | 7/32" | 4.5 | 139 | ||
| #8 | 1/4" | 4 | 132 | ||
| #10 | 3/8" | 3 | 60 | ||
How Much to Order? All rush is guaranteed to vary slightly in size, from order to order, due to twist variations. All colors are guaranteed to vary from order to order. All rush texture will vary from order to order, so it is important to order enough rush to complete your entire project. A typical seat measuring 14" x 14" takes about 2 lbs. What Color is Best? Kraft brown and light kraft are best for most chair seats. The light kraft allows you to stain with a greater range of colors. The white colored rush can be dyed with our water soluble dyes. For most side chairs, it is best to order 2 coils (4 lbs) to be sure you have enough. One 40 lb spool can do 10-12 chairs. Frank's Cane and Rush

| Deluxe Shaker Tape | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Shaker tape is a cloth tape used for seating on Shaker furniture that has advantages over other weaving materials because it is more flexible and resilient. It comes in 5/8" or 1" widths. To figure out how much yardage of tape you will need, measure (inches) the length of the front rail and the length of a side rail and multiply them together. Then divide the result by 9 for 1" shaker tape or 5.5 for 5/8" shaker tape. If the chair seat is 15" x 14" It will take about 38 yards of 5/8" wide tape to do the seat. It will take about 25 yards of 1" wide tape to do the same size seat. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
