Beautiful Pictures and Concise Directions

Pictures illustrate techniques words can't explain, while the clear directions will have you rushing or caning a chair in no time.

When it comes to explainging how to apply rush to a chair, words just don't get it (...then over and across then under then thruough...). This excellently-illustrated book shows what words can't explain. If you have never "rushed" a chair--get this book. It covers more than rushing: caning is in there, too (I'm not interested in caning so I'm not reviewing that part of it--which is the largest part of the book).

The illustrations are outstanding and the directions for caning a chair are very clear. The directions were very helpful in determining the size of cane to use.
Great Book

A great reference for the beginner or professional. Has a lot of good pictures of each step as well as a discussion of the different types of materials used in chair restoration.
