cane for Morris seats
- Thread starter ticonderoga
- Start date
I just got some cane for Morris seats from Perkins in CT. Shipping took awhile, but so far so good.

I have also done a fair amount of business with this company as well:
The Basket Maker's Catalog
521 East Walnut St
Scottsville, KY 42164
1-270-237-4821
A google search will also find many cane suppliers.

I have found these two mail-order suppliers to be good sources of cane materials, tools, and instruction books.
H. H. Perkins http://www.hhperkins.com/
Frank’s Cane and Rush Supply http://www.franksupply.com/caning/index.html
Both have information on how to choose the proper cane size, depending on hole spacing and size.
I have never bought cane or cane supplies from Lee Valley (though I have had good experiences when buying tools and hardware from them), but they have a good basic choice of cane and tools -- p. 242 of their current catalog. Leevalley.com.
Rockler and some other woodworking suppliers also sell cane and supplies.
A full hank or bunch of cane (about a thousand feed) is enough to do 5 or 6 canoe seats. Most dealers will sell a half bunch or half hank (about 500 feet), and some sell a "chair kit" -- a half hank plus a few of the basic wedges and pegs.
