installing cane webbing

In this Rockler Women in Woodworking® demo video, you'll learn how to install traditional cane webbing in furniture projects. Presenter LiLi Jackson explains the process of installing cane webbing on a media cabinet.

Cane webbing has been used in furniture making for centuries. Rattan cane is exceptionally durable, making it a good choice for heavy-duty applications, such as chair seats. Cane webbing can also be used as a panel material in doors or cabinet backs, adding an interesting texture to a project.
