For larger chair repair work, you can also compare spline for cane chairs before choosing the final spline size.
How This Spline Is Used
This spline is used to hold pressed cane webbing into the groove of a chair frame. After the old cane and spline are removed, the new webbing is pressed into the groove and the spline is added to secure the cane in place.
For complete seat repair, this product may be used along with chair caning supplies and the correct cane webbing sheet.
Measure Before Ordering
Measure the chair groove width before buying. A 1/4 inch groove usually needs the correct matching spline size so the webbing stays secure without forcing the reed too tightly into the channel.
If your project needs multiple reed sizes, check a chair caning round reed spline kit for repair work that uses smaller spline options.
Best Uses
This #9 reed spline is suitable for pressed cane chair seats, cane chair backs, seat weaving repair, and furniture restoration projects where a groove-style cane installation is used.
For hand weaving or basket repair projects, round reed for basket weaving may be a better material than spline.
Installation Notes
Remove the old spline and cane carefully before starting. Clean the groove, soften the new cane webbing as needed, press the webbing into place, and then install the spline evenly around the frame.
Use proper caning tools and avoid forcing the spline too hard, because too much pressure may damage the groove or the cane webbing. For related repair parts, compare round reed spline cane weaving before publishing the final product recommendation.
Care and Storage
Store the spline coil in a dry indoor area. Keep it away from excess moisture, direct heat, and heavy pressure so it does not become brittle or misshapen before use.
