What These Caning Pegs Are Used For
These wooden pegs are used during traditional chair caning to temporarily hold cane strands in drilled holes around the seat frame. They help keep strands from slipping while you work through the weaving steps.
Pair these pegs with a chair caning kit when repairing a chair that uses individual cane strands instead of pre-woven cane webbing. They are also helpful when working with chair cane common 3.5mm or other cane sizes that match your chair hole spacing.
Fit And Compatibility
These pegs are best for chairs that already have drilled holes around the seat or back opening. If your chair has a routed groove instead of individual holes, you likely need pressed cane webbing and spline instead of hand-caning pegs.
Before starting, check that the pegs fit securely in the holes without forcing them. A peg should hold the cane in place, but it should not be hammered in so tightly that it damages the chair frame.
How To Use
Start by soaking and preparing the cane according to your chair caning instructions. As you weave, place the wooden pegs into selected holes to hold the cane strands steady and maintain tension.
Move the pegs as needed while you continue weaving. After the cane is fully woven and secured, remove the pegs carefully so the finished seat remains clean and even.
Care And Storage
Keep the pegs dry after use and store them with your chair caning supplies so they are ready for future repairs. Wipe off dust, glue, or moisture before putting them away.
For projects that require old cane removal or groove cleaning, a caning chisel may be useful, but these wooden pegs are mainly for holding cane during hand-caning work.
