One of the coolest chairs I've caned

One of the coolest chairs I've caned

I've been busy

Finally the weather has cooperated so I can work in the driveway. Last weekend I managed to finish 5 chairs. 3 Pressed cane, the rush chair in front and finally my friend Bill's child's rocker. I'm so embarrassed that one tiny chair took so long! The rush chair is interesting to me. The seat on it is worth more than the chair. I think the seat is one of my best. The chair itself was completely square, but the finish is atrocious! you can see where duct tape was used to hold the old rush on it on the right side and the finish is almost non-existent on the rear posts. On the left rear the chair looks as if it was too close to a fireplace and got burned. I was impressed with how well put together the chair was.
