Folks, before he passed, my Grandfather gave my wife an antique bench that had a caned seat. Like many antiques I have seen, someone tried to use it as a stool (my Grandfather perhaps?), and stepped through the caning. A family member was going to have it recaned for my wife in the Jackson, MS area, but has not had any luck finding someone who still does caning.
I would like to get it recaned for her. We live in the Atlanta area (NE of Atlanta in northern Gwinnett County), and I was wondering if anyone knows a caner in the area. I believe the bench is a traditional seat configuration, in that individual holes are used for the caning. I want to avoid the pre-woven stuff if I can help it, as I think most of those products require a groove be routed into the seat.
Any ideas? All suggestions appreciated.
Doug
