Cove Caning
COVE CANING
Caning chairs has been a hobby since I was a teenager. This interest has grown into a part-time business here on
Tancook Island. Some chairs are sold on the island at Popplerock during the summer season but most of the caning is based on custom work. I have caned chairs for hundreds of people in the area as well as for customers as far away as Ontario. The photos above show examples of 3 chairs caned this past year.
Chairs arrive in various conditions. It is best to have the chair in its final state (you don�t want to strip or paint the chair after it has been caned). Chairs with varnishes can be stripped at an extra cost but painted chairs can be stripped at a lower cost by having them dipped at a factory specializing in stripping (it's very costly/time consuming to strip a painted chair by hand).
If you have a chair or rocker that needs caning please send me a photo and I will prepare an estimate. It usually takes about 1 - 2 weeks to cane a chair but rush orders can be accommodated if you are in the area for a short time.
It�s time to repair that old chair! Send me an e-mail at
[email protected] and we can discuss the work involved.
Sincerely,
