Binding Rattan

[Flavio]

Thank you very much, Mr. Yarom

I am, indeed, thankful to Artzi for this new skill. Now the problem becomes one of finding good rattan materials, preferably the thinner the strips the better. Any suggestions of where to purchase would be appreciated.

...and NO, I am not making baskets on commission as some jokesters have suggested!

Charles,
I've ordered from Royalwood Ltd. at Royalwood

They sell rattan for chair caning down to 1.25 mm width. I've always gotten good service from them.

Edit: You can also find it at http://www.franksupply.com/handcaning.html
and www.caneandreed.com but I've never bought from them.
