- Hand CaneHi! I've just started my first seat and finished step 2 before realizing that I probably should have added a row across the wooden part of the chair in the front and the back in order to avoid too much of a gap there. I put in a short piece of cane in each of those areas, but will that be a problem when it comes to binding underneath? Should I re-cane the whole seat? Thank you.Like

- Round, Trapezoid, CurvedI am caning this round chair and it is missing a hole or two in the upper right hand corner. There is a bolt there that holds the chair back to the seat so I can't just drill holes. It looks like the old cane just floated there without being in a hole. What can I do to make this chair look the best? I'm doing two chairs and the other one has holes.Like
