I am re-doing an old canvas covered Kayak, it has a caned seat which I am also
re-doing. I got a kit to do the job from "Frank's Cane & Rush Supply"
www.franksupply.com. They will send you a catalog with info on different caning
methods etc. I called them and they are very user friendly 714 847 0707.

:

Ususally with caned seats like that, what you get is a machine-made mat that
: is tucked/tacked/glued into a routered groove in the wood frame. To dress
: it up, another piece of cane is laid over the top to cover up the groove
: and any raggedy edges that might be seen. This kind of seat won't be as
: durable as durable, because the cane can pull out of the groove.

: If you cane your own seats, you build a frame and drill a series of holes
: around the perimeter, then lace/weave the cane through them. This makes
: the seat much stronger and more durabale.
