| Natural Binder Cane | |||||||||
| Natural binder cane is much like strand cane in that it is also made from rattan peel; but it has been cut wider and thicker. It is a very versatile material; it is used to cover the holes in hand caning, as a seating material using the tight weave technique, as a wrapping material on wicker and rattan furniture, and as a weaver for basketry. For the tight weave or twill weave technique, we recommend the book Splint Seats for Chairs. | |||||||||

One of the materials used in the weaving process is called rattan core, which comes from the rattan interior. A machine cuts the inside of the rattan pole, into pieces small enough in diameter for the weaving. Due to the nature of this product, splits and discolorations in the rattan poles are to be expected. They even enhance the beauty and uniqueness of these handcrafted products. Rattan is among the oldest natural furniture material in use today. Unlike bamboo, which is hollow, rattan is a solid timber vine. Most wicker and rattan furniture originates from Southeast Asia (Indonesia, the Phillipines, and China) and is manufactured by hand. |

Half Round Reed |

| Half round reeds should not be confused with flat oval reed. Half round reeds are more rigid and are used mostly in basketry as rims and handles. Also, as a weaver in seats and backs of wicker furniture. Half round reeds will not work well for wrapping legs of wicker furniture. | ||||||||

| Flat and flat oval reeds are made from the core of first quality rattan. Because these reeds are easily worked when soaked in water, they are used for a wide variety of purposes.
