I have two green chairs just like this. They were my husbands great grandmothers. My father-in-law replaced the seat with dear skin, he doesn't do caning. Your work is beautiful!
Thanks I've been at it five yrs. steady now. I hurt my back and it is the only thing I can do without aggravating it to much. I'm surprised the deer skin holds up it is very soft and stretches very easily. I bet they look nice though deer skin is a favorite seat coving of mine in upholstered chairs.
It still has the fur on it, I'll post a pic of one sometime today.
NICE JOB james
Thanks John
