The chair recaning process
The first step in caning a chair is to
determine what type of cane is
needed.
Other chairs integrate woven cane, which means that there are small holes around the seat of the
chair for the cane to be woven in and out of. It is not advisable to attempt to convert a sheet caned
chair to a woven cane chair, or vice versa, as doing so may damage the chair's soundness and value
as an antique.
Some chairs, especially those made after the 1860s,
were designed to be caned with sheet cane, which is
cane that has been machine woven and is sold in
sheets. Chairs designed for sheet caning have a groove
around the seat for the edge of the sheet cane to be
tucked into.

and pretty much any other strong and flexible material. Strand cane comes in varying sizes:
common, medium, fine, fine-fine, and superfine.
