Just finished caning this refinished sewing rocker. I caned it in Fine 2.5mm chair cane.
Good strip job, and the polyurethane finish is a strong one. Interestingly enough my customer when she called asked if she had reached Seats by Scott. I need to ask her if she found me online. If so she may be my first online customer. All others have found me through word of mouth. She might have seen a flier I've posted at an antique store. I think it's a darling little chair.
1/31/13- Yes she found me with a Google search. I'm now officially getting work from the internet!
Yesterday my wife and I went to an estate sale. On the porch was a large rocker with a cane seat and back. It had a broken arm rest and a $30.00 price tag. The whole sale was 50% off by that time. The arm rest had split along a glue joint. 5 minute repair job.
So, for $15.00 I have a Rex Furniture Co. Brumby copy that's already been repaired and just needs a light sanding and a new finish coat. The seat will need to be re-caned in a couple of years. Picture to follow.
