Has anyone used pre-woven cane to re-cane a chair? My 3.5 year old son somehow created a nice hole in the seat of my chair I use in my office. Any tips would be appreciated! I have found a store that sells the cane, spline and wedges for about $20 including shipping.

Well, since no one has responded, I will attempt this myself and if successful, I will post pictures.

Thanks!

I haven't had time to take any pictures, but I can say that removing the old banding takes some time. My chair has many curves and bends in the groove and I am removing it by hand with a caning chisel.

I finished the seat today. It was much easier to remove the old spline by drilling little holes about 1/4 inch apart in the old spline and then using the caning chisel to remove the rest. I enjoyed the project and now I can sit in my chair again!
