hair clips, powder case, decorative trays, earrings, clips, bangles and
neck piece are among the other finest works of art of Tripura artisans. The handicraft
items are intricate and painstakingly decorated by the makers. The artisans of
Tripura are known to make fine bamboo splits and turn them into beautiful
objects like loom woven mats with thin bamboo strips, turned and carved
cylindrical containers made with bamboo Culm and hand fan made from bamboo mat.
These artisans always apply innovations to their art. A recent innovation of
the artisans is carving of bamboo roots where statues and sculpted narratives
are depicted in Bamboo root carvings.</span></div>

from single-use plastic water bottles to reusable stainless steel drinking

Mizoram is the land of a number of craftsmen and skilled
artisans excelling in various crafts. Bamboo and Cane related crafts are a
major source of income to the state as well as the people. The Mizo’s dexterity
in wicker-work and basketry is well known. Bamboo and Cane have their
multifarious uses in turning out various commercial crafts and items of
furniture. Even their houses are generally built with bamboo walls and floors
and thatched roofs. While women excel at weaving, men are expert at cane and bamboo
work. They make fine cane hats and uncommonly beautiful baskets. The
traditional Mizo hat is known for its workmanship. It looks as if the hat is
woven out of fine bamboo as fine as cotton yarn. Besides their typical hat or
caps, domestic baskets are all made from plaited bamboo and these are
reinforced by stout cane, which is very hard and durable. By smoking, the cane
would be coloured a shiny mahogany to give some colour and patterns to the
work. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Bamboo forests cover a large extent of area in Mizoram.
Around 57% of the geographical area of Mizoram is under Bamboo cover found at
heights ranging from 400m – 1500m above mean sea level. The State possesses the
maximum percentage of its geographical area under bamboo forests
as compared to other States of
the country. Bamboo forests are most abundant in the five northern
districts but are rare in the eastern and
south eastern parts of the State,
particularly in Champhai, due to high altitude. Most of the bamboo species
occurring in the State are found between 400m to 1,500m altitude and
their distribution is somewhat restricted
to above 1,550m.</div>

DONER Minister Jitendra Singh said that Mizoram can become
the Bamboo state of India and the Government has already initiated an effort to
activate a Bamboo Development Board.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Noting that there was need for each North Eastern state to
develop an individual identity, Singh said: “State of Mizoram has a very bright
opportunity to develop itself and earn the distinction of being a ‘Bamboo
State’ of the Indian Union.”</div>

Fifty-year-old Damit Pdakasiej, a mother of 3 girls and 4 boys, from Syntein in Mawsynram makes

Don Bosco Museum, which promotes indigenous art and culture, tourism and

Groups (SHGs) and individuals such as Damit Pdakasiej.<br />
<br />
Damit Pdakasiej is part of a 20-member ‘Kenbah Kynmynsaw Handicraft and
Multi-purpose Co-operative Society’ formed in 2007. Initially, members of the
group were trained by government agencies. However since then, they now stand
on their own and support their families by manufacturing and marketing their
products themselves.<br />
<br />
When asked if the trade is sustaining, Damit Pdakasiej said, “In a day, an
individual usually makes one big-sized handicraft or two small-sized ones. I
earn approx Rs. 200, including the bamboo materials, in a day.” “We are
generating an income and managing well,” she added. Her husband Hodling Lapen
is also a member of the Society.<br />
<br />
Damit Pdakasiej, who first learnt the art of craft-making by watching her
mother, also passes on her skills to others by teaching participants attending
vocational training programmes organised occasionally by the Society.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;">Anyone
who’s spent significant time creating with their hands – whether it be
painting, carpentry, knitting, carving, building – can appreciate the
distinctive satisfaction it evokes. (I’m using the term broadly.) Handicraft,
as wide a spectrum as it can encompass, isn’t about routine chores or fix-its.
There’s a difference between grudgingly doing your own home repairs to save
money and savoring the experience of meticulously renovating your own home.
It’s about the love of the craft on some level.<br />
<br />
Indian Handicrafts Industry<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;">India
is one of the important suppliers of handicrafts to the world market. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>The Indian handicrafts industry is
highly labour intensive cottage based industry and decentralized, being spread
all over the country in rural and urban areas. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Numerous artisans are engaged in
crafts work on part-time basis. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>The
industry provides employment to over six million artisans (including those in
carpet trade), which include a large number of women and people belonging to
the weaker sections of the society.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;">In
addition to the high potential for employment, the sector is economically
important from the point of low capital investment, high ratio of value
addition, and high potential for export and foreign exchange earnings for the
country. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>The export
earnings from Indian handicrafts industry for the period 1998-99 amounted to
US$ 1.2 billion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;">Although
exports of handicrafts appear to be sizeable, India’s share in world imports is
miniscule. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>It is a sector
that is still not completely explored from the point of view of hidden
potential areas. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>India, a
country with 26 states and 18 languages and more than 1500 dialects offers an
enormous range of handicrafts from each of the states. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Major centres in Uttar Pradesh are
Moradabad also known as the "Peetalnagari" (City of Brass),
Saharanpur for its wooden articles, Ferozabad for Glass. The North Western
state of Rajasthan has to offer the famous Jaipuri quilts, Bagru and Sanganer
printed textiles and wooden and wrought iron furniture from Jodhpur. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>The coastal state of Gujarat comes
with embroidered articles from Kutch. Narsapur in Andhra Pradesh is famous for
its Lace and Lace goods. But this is only a small part of the total product
range. India offers much more. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;">Terracotta
Work of Assam is famous in India and also in abroad. It is also one of the most
refined versions of Terracotta Art in India. Assam craftwork
represents the rich cultural heritage of India. The magnificent artefacts boost
about the mastery skills of the artisans. The terracotta work of Assam has
dominated the handicraft segment for ages. The exotic works of art of different
mythological figures, idols, decorative showpieces are exquisite example of the
thriving terracotta industry of the state. </span></div>

History of Terracotta Work of Assam <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
The traditional terracotta work of Assam can be traced back to ancient times.
This aesthetic form of art has a deep-rooted origin in this state. It evolved
significantly with the evolution of art and culture in Assam. The early
artisans mastered the art of creating various forms of religious characters that
made its presence in several sacred ceremonies and cultural events. Since time
immemorial, this tradition has been handed down from one generation to the
other. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
Two different communities, the 'hira' and the 'kumar' functioning in Assam
specialise in clay and terracotta craftwork. Both the communities differ in
their method of work. The compression method is followed by the
"hiras". They focus on preparing household items and womenfolk of the
community are mostly engaged in this work. The "kumar", on the other
hand pursue the wheel method. They specialise in the art of pottery work. These
products are initially made on the wheel that requires experienced hands. Later
they are dried and then kept in the ovens or bhattis. Earthen lamps, plates,
diyas, clay dolls, incense sticks holders, chains, pitchers and cups are some
of the common products prepared by them. The Goalpara district of
Assam is popularly known for its terracotta idols. The Kamrup district is
recognised for its blooming terracotta industry. Besides this, the Asharikandi
village of Dhubri district of Assam is also popular in this ethic
art. Almost 80 percent of the families residing in this village are engaged in
terracotta work so that the state and central government has announced this
place as a 'model village. '<br />
<br />
The terracotta craft of Assam has evolved radically with time. It has developed
as a hub for crafts and cottage industries. The modern terracotta artisans not
only specialise in making traditional images of gods and goddesses but also
engage in producing an array of designer items like toys, dolls, vases, pots
etc. These incredible craftworks stand as excellent manifestations of the
ancient terracotta art of the bygone era. Local tourists as well as foreigners
visit the land to have a glimpse of the art form. It has developed from a
traditional craftwork to a flourishing industry. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Bamboo and cane are two species of grass that are used in
day to day life for a myriad of purposes. At first glance, it may be extremely
difficult to tell these two apart. Which is why discerning the difference
between bamboo and cane in depth is necessary when it comes to discerning one
from the other.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What is Cane?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What is usually referred to as cane belongs to the family of Poaceae and
can be either of the two genera of perennial grasses with tall, flexible, woody
stalks. Cane largely grows in largely riparian stands known as canebrakes and
can be found in abundance in Southern and Far Western United States. Cane is also a commonly used name for a climbing or trailing
plant in the palm family, primarily of the genus Calamus out of which
rattan furniture is produced.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What is Bamboo?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bamboo can be defined as a tribe of flowering perennial evergreen
plants belonging to the subfamilyBambusoideae, tribe Bambuseae of the
grass family of Poaceae of which the largest members are the giant bamboos.
Known as some of the fastest growing plants in the world, bamboos are very much
culturally and economically significant in Asia where it is used as a food
source, building material as well as a versatile raw product out of which many
products can be manufactured.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Difference between Bamboo and Cane</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Both bamboo and cane belong to the grass family of Poaceae because
of which their appearance seems quite similar. However, there are several
distinct characteristics to both these species that can be used to set them
apart.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
• Bamboo belongs to the subfamily Bambusoideae, tribe Bambuseae of
the grass family of Poaceae. Cane can be either of the two genera of perennial
grasses of the family Poaceae.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
• In general use, the word cane is also used for rattan a
climbing or trailing plant in the palm family, primarily of the genus Calamus.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
• Cane is a flexible material that is often used for a
myriad of purposes such as the making of walking sticks, crutches as well as
for weaving into baskets, boats, etc. bamboo is more brittle than cane and can
only be used as flooring and roofing material. Bamboo cannot be weaved.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Bamboo and leaf headgear is the most indispensable item of
the open air workers. Such ordinary headgears are produced throughout the
State. ‘Chhatas’ on commercial basis are largely produced in some villages (e.
g. Rangpur, Chinipatan, etc.) of Cachar district and supplied mainly to
neighboring tea-gardens and some parts of Nowgong district. The products are
generally carried on shoulder loads to the nearby ‘hats’ and sold to consumers
in retail or to middlemen in bulk.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Many varieties of ‘Japis’ such as ‘halua japi’, ‘pitha
japi’, ‘sorudoiya japi’, ‘bordoiya japi’, ‘cap japi’, etc. are produced in the
districts of Kamrup, Nowgong, Darrang, Sibsagar and Lakhimpur. Nalbari and its
neighbouring villages (such as Kamarkuchi, Mughkuchi, etc.) of Kamrup district
deserve special mention in respect of manufacturing of ‘fulam japis’ (decorated
bamboo umbrellas). In olden days, this particular type of ‘japis’ served as
headgears for the females of noble and rich families, but now it has become
outdated. Productions of ‘fulam japis’ are now only intended to serve as items
of drawing-room decorations. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p> </o:p>This traditional headgear (japi) is made of strips of bamboo
and a special kind of dried palm leaves locally known as ‘tokow-pat’. The
manufacture of ordinary ‘japi’ does not require any special skill. First of
all, the selected bamboos are split into small strips of required sizes. Then
the strips are woven in open hexagonal design into a circular disc with a dome
in the centre for the head to fit in, putting a few dried ‘tokow’ leaves
(previously cut into required sizes) in between two such discs and finally
sewing them securely with yarn and fine strands of cane. Thus, the manufacture
of ordinary ‘japi’ is completed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A japi is more advantageous to the cultivators and other
open air workers than the conventional umbrella, because the cultivator after
putting it on can tie the strings around his chin leaving his hands free to
work in any position-standing, squatting or stooping. ‘Japi’ can also be called
a poor man’s umbrella, because of its cheap price. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
There are various kinds of fishing contraptions prepared out
of cane and bamboo in different parts of the state. A brief description of some
of the fishing implements widely used like polo, Jakai, Khalai, Dori, Chepa,
Paran, Jhuti, Hogra, etc. is given below:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Polo- It resembles the shape of a dome with short stem of
about 6" diameter open at the top. The diameter at the bottom varies from
2 ft-3½ ft. and even upto 4 ft. and the height varies from 2 ft. to 3 ft. It is
prepared out of small bamboo strips fastened with fine and flexible cane slips.
Polo is used for fishing in shallow water. The man who uses it hold it by the
side of the stem, presses its rim on the mud, then pulls it back and lifts
above or up to the level of water and again presses it as before while moving
on through water. Whenever any fish is caught, he puts his hand inside through
the stem to catch hold of the fish; julki is a small polo prepared in the same
fashion.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Jakai- The ‘jakai’ is a species of wicker work shovel that
is either dragged along the bottom or placed on the water bed to catch the
small fishes which take refuge in it when the weed is trampled. It is prepared
with bamboo slips, which are locally known as ‘dai’. ‘Jati’ bamboo is specially
used for making this particular implement.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Khalai - The ‘khalai’ is also prepared with bamboo strips.
The strips required for the weft are very long, while those for the warp are
short. The ‘khalai’ is woven in the shape of an earthen ‘kalasi’ or pitcher.
This is used for temporary keeping of fishes during hand-net fishing. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Chepa- The Chepa is made of some prepared bamboo rods
according to required size. These are woven in a roundish fashion with jute
string or soft cane slips. A bamboo-made valve locally known as ‘par’ (Bengali)
and ‘kal’ (Assamese) is fitted in the middle of the chepa to allow the fishes
to enter inside with no scope for going out. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dori- Fishermen in the rural areas of the state manufacture
dories of various types. A ‘dori’ is generally rectangular. It is prepared out
of small bamboo strips woven with flexible cane slips. A trap is fitted with a
‘dori’ in such a way that a bamboo-made screen is prolonged inwards from either
side of the oval mouth and the pointed splints of the two sides interlock
together.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Parans- These are various cages or basket traps made of
bamboo splits used for catching fishes. There are two kinds of ‘parans’, namely
(i) ‘uba paran’ (vertical cage) and (ii) ‘pora paran’ (horizontal cage). These
are provided with one or two valves or trap doors through which fishes can be
easily trapped.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
All these implements mentioned above are generally used in
catching fishes in shallow water. Apart from these contrivances, there are some
other implements made of bamboo and cane and are used for catching fishes in
deep waters. These are locally known as gui, jhuti, dingaru, thupa, hogra, etc. </div>

Assam is rich in sylvan resources and most of its forests
are richly stocked with bamboos and canes of various species. Bamboo is a raw
material of great versatility and forms an integral part of the lifestyle and
economy of Assam. Special mention may however be made of the forests of Mizo
Hills, Cachar, Mikir and North Cachar Hills, Nowgong and Lakhimpur districts.
While touring in the hill districts, one sometimes wonders at the vast expanses
of bamboos and canes. The important species of bamboos of economic value are
the Muli (Melocanna bambusoides), Dalu (Teinostachyum
dalloa), Khang (Dendrocalmus longispatnus), Kaligoda (Oxytenanthera
nigrociliata) and Pecha (Dendrocalamus Hamilton-ii). The Muli and
the Dalu have great commercial importance, the former for pulping,
constructional and fencing purposes, and the latter for the mat and basket
industry.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The making of bamboo and cane products is perhaps the most
universal of all the crafts practiced by a large number of artisans scattered
throughout the State. It is practiced as a household industry and no mechanical
device is used. Cane and bamboo products are used for a wide range of purposes
and extensively used in every household.</div>

<b>History and Origin</b><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
No definite records are available to establish the
antiquity, history and origin of this craft in Assam. However, it can be
safely assumed that the craft was practiced since the misty past with the
very dawn of civilization. In the early period in Assam, bamboo was held with
special reference and is forbidden to cut in “auspicious days”. It is a
general belief that bamboo possesses auspicious character and is of religious
significance.<br />
<br />
An idea about the flourishing state of cane and bamboo products of Assam was
fond even during the time of Bhaskara Varman (early part of the 7th century
A.D.), the king of Assam, may be had from the following extract. (An extract
from “The History of Civilization of the People of Assam” by Dr P.C.
Chouudhury.)</div>

“Early literature refers to the well-decorated and
coloured sital patis (cool mats) used by the rich people. Mats were usually
made of cane. The classical writers testify the abundance of cane in the
forests of Assam. Ptolemy, for instance, states that to the east of Serica,
which we have identified with Assam, there were hills and marshes where canes
were grown and used as bridges. Evidence of the production of other cane
articles is also supplied by the ‘Harshacharita’, which mentions stools of
cane. The cultivation of bamboo and its use for various purposes are well
known. Bana again testifies to this highly developed craft. He states that
Bhaskara sent to Harsha ‘baskets of variously coloured reeds’, ‘thick bamboo
tubes’ and various birds in ‘bamboo cages’. All these prove that various
industrial arts were developed in Assam at an early period and were continued
to be practiced till recent times, based on that traditions like those of the
craftsmen of other parts of India…”</div>

Cane furniture which is also known as Rattan furniture or
wicker furniture is basically made of the stems of the rattan plant. Cane is
the raw material of the rattan plant and it is tensile and durable. It is
therefore considered to be ideal for both indoor and outdoor furniture. As it
is quite versatile, it can be designed according to modern trends and styles to
enhance both indoor and outdoor decor.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Benefits of Cane Furniture:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are many reasons why most people prefer to own cane or
rattan furniture. Some of the most obvious reasons are mentioned below:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Cost effective: Compared to other types of wooden and metal
furniture, it is priced at lower rates. As it is cost effective, most people
choose it to decorate their homes and patios. It can also be replaced and
altered often as it is priced at reasonable rates.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Resistant to the vagaries of the weather: It is mostly used
in garden and patios as outdoor cane furniture as it has the immense ability to
resist all types of climatic changes. It is seldom affected by climatic changes
although it should be placed away from direct heat and sunlight as it might
become brittle. It is also water-resistant and rustproof.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Versatile: Rattan furniture can be shaped and designed into
different types of furniture. It has the power to transform the decor of a home
or office space with its incomparable versatility. It can be used to make
different types of furniture that can be placed in any part of the room or
garden.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Light Weight: One of the greatest advantages of the rattan
furniture is its light weight. It can be carried around from one place to
another quite easily as it is light in weight and available in different
attractive varieties.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Low maintenance: Unlike other wooden furniture which
requires frequent polishing and maintenance, wicker or rattan furniture
requires low maintenance. All that it requires is an occasional polishing to
retain its charm and elegance.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Eco-friendly: Most people prefer to buy wicker furniture as
it is environment friendly. It includes the use of natural materials which is
derived from the stem of the large rattans. It is a climber palm which is found
in tropical regions of Asia and Africa.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Maintenance Tips:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Although cane furniture is long lasting and tensile, proper
care and maintenance can ensure a longer life period for these type of
furniture. It is quite easy to care for wicker furniture as it includes simple
cane weeds that are wrapped around solid furniture.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Avoid direct heat and sunlight: Excessive heat and immense
sunlight can cause the cane to become brittle. If the furniture is indoor,
place it away from heating vents and fire places and if it is placed in the
patio move it away from direct sunlight.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Warm soapy water: It is wise to clean wicker furniture with
warm soapy water and rinse it with water. Wipe away excessive water with a soft
cloth. Keep it to dry for 24 hours before using it again. Use a soft brush to
remove excessive dirt or mold.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
You can add glamour to your home and
yet keep it simple by choosing to decorate it up with cane and bamboo made
products. The bamboo made lampshades available in the market in a variety of
designs, types, sizes and looks, are amazing options to get for your home and
make it look stylish without spending much of your hard earned money. It is
true that in certain cases a bamboo made lampshade may cost you more than that
of a plastic or other material made lampshade, but then the quality of the
thing and the labour put behind the making of the thing needs to be counted in
that case.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The beauty of the bamboo made
things, especially of the lampshades is unmatchable and one can realize it the
moment the bamboo made lampshades are witnessed in person. It has been noticed
that the lampshades made of bamboo are quite a common sight in the aristocratic
families who believes in adding an authenticity, ethnicity and shine to their
home in the simplest yet perfect way possible. They look ethnic. But adds the
very glamour to the household that leaves one with ample reasons for getting
the beautiful cane made lampshades for the living room, for the veranda, the
study room and also for the bedroom. </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
As the making of a bamboo lampshade
takes some time, a skilled hand and some labour, the costs of these lampshades
are generally pricey and that varies basing on the size and the complexity of
designs found in these. Other than that, a bamboo lampshade is as good, durable
and easy to clean as that of a lampshade made of other materials like that of
fabric, plastic or other transparent materials. </div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">Cane furniture is used, both indoors and outdoors, all
over the world. It is particularly used as conservatory furniture in places of
learning and in green houses, patios and on beaches. The furniture can be
painted in different, attractive colors or varnished to give it the natural
look. Cane is an ideal material for making baskets, mats, wall hangings and a
wide variety of furniture items. It is light in weight, flexible enough to bend
and shape according to the needs of the design and, at the same time, it is
strong and cost effective.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Cane plantations can be found in many parts of the world.
The availability and price of cane is, therefore, never an issue. It is not a
kind of material in itself, but an overall classification of furniture made out
of various materials, including rattan, willow, bamboo and reed,
apart from cane. When we talk of cane furniture, we mean furniture made
out of cane, which is bent and shaped by the craftsman to make it attractive,
comfortable and practical.</span></div>

of materials, there is no doubt about that, but the aura and the charm added to
the atmosphere with the use of the bamboo made goods is simply different and

hands for years. Among the wide varieties of bamboo made goods, the bamboo
baskets are one of the worth naming products. Right from storing food grains in

bamboo baskets are found in a number of designs and sizes. With the advancement

<span lang="EN-GB">The bamboo baskets have been used in the
Assamese households since time immemorial and are widely used for storing and

gifting the newlywed daughter with bamboo baskets for her use in the house of
her in-laws. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
When you’re considering potential building materials for home
construction as a society we tend to focus on two or three commonly utilized
and widely accepted building materials: wood, stone or concrete. What you may
not realize is that bamboo solutions can be used for much more than just food,
musical instruments, medicine, paper and textiles. Uses for bamboo can also
include building construction, both in exterior and interior design elements.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Widely used in Asian, Pacific Islander and Central and
Southern American cultures, bamboo is a sustainable and sturdy building
material. Unlike wood, bamboo (a member of the grass family) regenerates very
quickly. It is, in-fact, one of the fastest growing plants in the world, with
the fastest growth rate reaching 100cm in a 24-hr period.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are also a number of other benefits to choosing bamboo
solutions over wood including:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Strength and Durability: Bamboo is heartier than oak and
stronger than steel. It is flexible and lightweight, and is water-resistant,
minimizing the risk for warping and</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Affordability: It is easily grown and harvested, making it
one of the most cost effective construction materials available.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A minor setback to implementing the use of bamboo in
construction projects arises due to the locations where bamboo flourishes the
heartiest. Bamboo thrives in the tropical regions of the world, which can raise
prices due to importing costs. Although farmers are capable of growing
bamboo in nearly every climate, creating and maintaining a viable bamboo source
requires copying an environment that will allow this sustainable building
source to grow and thrive year-round. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
As Popular Mechanics writer, Harry Sawyers explains:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Bamboo has come into vogue as a green, sustainable
resource that’s used for everything from cutting boards to clothing to wood
floors. But until now, almost all of the bamboo in products sold here has come
from overseas. That could change soon, as new planting techniques may lead to
millions of new acres of bamboo shoots in the American South.” Some wonder if a
plant like bamboo can revitalize farmland on the Mississippi Delta.”</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Bamboo is actually a
tropical grass, with an extensive root system that sends out an average of four
to six new shoots per year, naturally replenishing itself and growing to
heights of 50 feet or more. Some bamboo species grow up to 4 feet per day and
can be harvested every 3 to 4 years. As a result, bamboo is one of nature's
most sustainable resources since it is naturally regenerative.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Bamboo is a plentiful,
renewable natural product with many remarkable characteristics, such as:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">• Softness - Softer than
the softest cotton, Bamboo fabric has a natural sheen to the surface and feels
similar to silk or cashmere.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">• Comfortable - Bamboo
fabric absorbs water 3-4 times better than cotton, keeping skin comfortable,
rather than sticky, in hot weather. The fabrics stay 2-3 degrees cooler in hot
temperatures and warmer in cold temperatures. Bamboo apparel is thermal
regulating, anti-fungal, anti-static and will keep you cooler, drier, warmer
and odor free.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">• Appearance - Bamboo
looks like expensive Pima or Egyptian cotton and drapes like silk. It has less
shrinkage than cotton and does not pill. It has been described as feeling like pure
cashmere.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">• Protective and
Hygienic - Unlike other anti-microbial fabrics, which require a chemical
treatment, organic Bamboo fiber clothing is naturally anti-microbial requiring
no added harmful chemicals. It contains an agent, "bamboo kun", that
prevents bacteria from cultivating on it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">• UV Protection - Bamboo
fiber fabrics have natural UV protection. There have been tests where companies
have sent out 100% bamboo clothing to research laboratories for UV protection
testing. The UPF label rate is 15. The fabric scored 18.3 on the UPF scale with
94.15% UVA block and 93.17% UVB block.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">* The UPF system was
created especially for sun protective fabrics. UPF measurements of fabrics are
generally tested by spectrophotometer equipment and are not tested using human
subjects. The UPF rate indicates how much of the sun's UV radiation is absorbed
by the fabric. The advantage of the UPF standard is that both UVB and UVA are
measured.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">• Natural and
Chemical-Free – Bamboo is grown without using pesticides or chemical
fertilizers. Bamboo fiber is 100% biodegradable.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">The many uses and
benefits of bamboo continue to increase as individuals turn to organic,
eco-friendly products. One area seeing tremendous growth is bamboo baby
clothing. Parents are realizing the benefits of organic products to both their
baby’s health and to the environment, and bamboo baby clothes are an ideal fit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Bamboo is perfect next
to babies delicate skin because it is naturally hypoallergenic, and
anti-bacterial, preventing odor, allergies and skin irritations. In addition,
it is thermal regulating, which is important since babies have a hard time
regulating body temperature when first born. With all the positive benefits to
your baby and the environment, why wouldn’t a parent be excited about this
great new product line?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Bamboo is one of the most versatile resources available,
offering a high-quality alternative to many materials that have traditionally
been more familiar to consumers. It is also a resource that is poised to do
tremendous good for the world in an era of severe ecological degradation and
escalating threats from global warming, wherein more and more consumers are
developing a deeply-rooted environmental conscience and bringing it to bear on
their buying decisions. Bamboo represents the best that a green lifestyle has
to offer: its products bringing beauty and luxury into a person’s life along
with confidence that he or she is supporting the resources and industry that
will help to build a more sustainable, greener world that will persist long
into the future.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bamboo has a rich history in Asia, where it has been used
for centuries as a major building material, as well as being used in the
construction of furniture and other items. In China, the very first papers were
made out of bamboo pulp, and similar processes still make a thick grade of
paper today, for traditional uses or for arts and crafts. Bamboo has a long
history of culinary and medicinal applications. Its shoots are a low-calorie
food that is rich in sugars and various essential minerals, and they can be
cooked or eaten raw. Other elements of the plant are utilized in the ancient
Indian medicinal practice, Aryuveda. Modern techniques have allowed
manufacturers to derive viscose from bamboo in order to create clothing with
softness comparable to cashmere. The resource as a whole is gaining increasing
popularity in the West, though its versatility and quality remains underappreciated,
and there is still room for much greater demand to promote its growth and
harvest in new markets.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With over 1,400 different species, bamboo grows naturally
throughout the world, both in tropical and temperate climates. There are three
identified species that are indigenous to North America, and though the plant
as a whole is far more common in Asia, there are identified regions in the
United States and elsewhere that could accommodate large-scale bamboo forestry.
Many species are hardy enough to grow in cold weather, so there are very few
limitations on where the crop can be established. Bamboo propagates quickly
because of its rhizome root system, but it is an ideal agroforestry crop,
capable of occupying the same land that is devoted to other crops that do not
grow in such dense arrangement.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Comparing to a stand of trees the same size as one of
bamboo, the bamboo releases 35% more oxygen into the atmosphere. A necessary
aspect of any effort at curtailing global warming is to encourage the
preservation of every aspect of the natural environment that constitutes a
natural defense against escalating quantities of carbon dioxide, and bamboo is
the best example of this. </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
With bamboo, the consumer secures the dual benefit of buying
an excellent product and supporting a stable ecosystem.</div>

Dressing up your home with new furniture decorations can be exciting. Whether it’s your first home, or a refresh of the rental property you live in, the freedom to implement your own personal style according to your tastes and lifestyle is both a liberating and challenging experience. Most of us simply pick furniture based on what looks and feels good, but what really suits your home and lifestyle? We check out two types of furniture and uncover the differences between them and how you can do more than just improve your home’s outdoor décor.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.375px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
<b style="box-sizing: border-box;">Understanding the Difference between Cane and Solid Wood Furniture </b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.375px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
Cane furniture, like other wooden varieties, grows with you over time to become part of you and your family’s treasured possessions. Given its flexible nature, good quality cane furniture can last anywhere between 30 to 40 years so it can be easily regarded as a rewarding investment.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.375px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
Solid hardwoods such as redwood, oak or pine are also extremely durable materials for furniture. Built with quality and craftsmanship in mind, the difference between solid wood and cane lie predominately in the way it is made. Cane is used to describe furniture made of wicker – a woven fibre formed into a rigid material. Because it’s light yet super sturdy, it has become a popular option for baskets and furniture that’s used more often, like <a href="http://droversoutdoor.com.au/" rel="nofollow" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; box-sizing: border-box; color: black; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out;" target="_blank" title="drovers">outdoor dining furniture</a>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.375px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
<b style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/CanecraftGuwahati" target="_blank">Choosing Cane Furniture for Your Home </a></b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.375px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
When it comes to outdoor living, there is something about cane furniture that is warm and inviting. Also known as rattan or wicker furniture, cane is made from the stems of the rattan plant which offers a tensile and long-lasting material ideal for furniture both indoors and outside your home.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.375px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
Consider only good quality cane because if the work is virtuous, you’re looking at a decade or two with limited to no maintenance. Those who like the look of bamboo furniture tend to choose cane, with its “island home” type appearance and cost-effectiveness; it’s a fun way to decorate your home to make it your own outdoor paradise.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.375px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
Because of the flexible material it’s made from, cane can be shaped and designed into different types of furniture which leaves a lot of room for creativity, especially for those hard-to-buy for spots in your garden. Although it can suit any home type, cane is particularly popular for outdoor living as it has an immense ability to resist any climate change and is water resistant and rust proof.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.375px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
Whilst it is a low-maintenance option and doesn’t require frequent polishing, it’s advised an initial coat of wax is put on before it rains as it can be prone to fungus. If you have children that tend to play with the furniture, consider a natural coat of varnish every couple of years to keep its freshness. For those with pets prone to chewing, it’s also possible to re-cane your furniture every few years instead of throwing it out.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.375px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
For those prone to diabetes, cane furniture can actually be a healthy choice because it cools down the body. No doubt you have heard about the cane cradles in the older days? Cane cradles are something families handed down from generation to generation for its good health aspects, also making it a great alternative for elderly people or anyone that suffers from bad posture and frequent back pain.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.375px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
<b style="box-sizing: border-box;">Choosing Solid Wood Furniture for Your Home </b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.375px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
Solid wood brings a stylish look when decorating your deck or patio area and is strong enough to easily satisfy all furniture applications, for both the inside and outside of your home. Although it is the more expensive option, you are paying for a lifetime of comfort and a characteristic appearance that never seems to get old.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.375px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
Whilst it can be easy to opt for the decision of cheaper flat-packed furniture, these woods are simply manufactured products such as chipboard or MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard). Engineered ‘woods’ like these are made from lower quality woods and whilst are the perfect short-term solution for a large space crying out for furniture, they don’t have the same build quality as real solid wood furniture.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.375px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
Real solid wood is a term of art, and buying solid wood furniture for your home can include endless benefits, especially for outdoor patio use. <a href="http://furniture.about.com/od/buyingfurniture/a/woodquality.htm" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; box-sizing: border-box; color: black; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out;">Solid woods</a> like redwood or oak offer a beautiful, elegant and timeless appearance that can complement any existing décor. Because of its sturdiness, solid woods are highly resilient against harsh weather conditions and varieties like cedar and redwood have natural chemicals that effectively resist wear and tear of daily use. As your furniture ages, the colour and movement changes in solid hardwoods add to its charm.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.375px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
As tough as solid wood furniture can be though, the maintenance levels are higher than most other outdoor furniture types. If the wood is not taken care of, flaking and cracking can appear. To keep your furniture looking good and long lasting, stain removing, cleaning and varnishing will need to be done periodically. From a green-minded perspective, it’s also important to remember some hardwoods are endangered species. Redwoods for example, are some of the most ancient trees and whilst it may look like award-winning furniture, from the conservation aspect this type of wood is best left on the tree. For environmental concerns, consider other options like pine, teak or timber.</div>

Think furniture and cane seems to remain the evergreen
option. Durable, sturdy, almost zero maintenance, ethnic and easy to lug along
wicker beds, cane sofa sets and home theatre stands can be the right option to
do up the house in one tone.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="outline: 0px;">
Today owing to its relatively inexpensive cost, crafting
furniture for the entire house in cane- from conservatory furniture - garden
and living room, to dining hall and bar cabinet - is a pocket-friendly
proposition. Add to these a few cane show pieces such as miniature rocking chairs,
baskets and cane bicycles, as also lamp shades and wall frames to complete the
picture. “Furniture for the entire house
- sofa sets, dining table, mirror frames, television stand, racks, side table
and cots - can be made for Rs. 80,000 onwards. The wedding wardrobe and home
furniture gift sets in cane are popular,” says Ashfaq Ahmed of Bombay Cane
Furniture Works at Lakdi-ka-pul. When compared to wooden or leather furniture,
cane scores on the cost factor. While a designer no frills leather rocking
chair can cost Rs. 15,000 onwards, a humble variant in cane comes for Rs. 2,000
and is equally snug. Imported cane comes for a little extra though.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="outline: 0px;">
The other USP of cane is its durability. The cane furniture
lasts for 10-15 years with a varnish or paint once every three years. Cane
sofas are ideal for the sun rooms and as garden furniture. Glass - topped
centre tables in hand woven wicker paired with lightweight lounge chairs can
add extra sparkle to any lawn. “Wicker
furniture is the new trend for sit outs. Apart from traditional wooden shades
one can now find wicker furniture in white and other shades,” says city based
architect Amita Raj, ARDeS Architects and Designs. Rattan furniture as also
wicker furniture crafted made using cane can also take other hues apart from
the varnish. Greys, whites and cream are few muted colours that are popular for
cane furniture across the world. “Cane
furniture when used with ambient lighting and warm shades for the walls offer a
nice cosy look for small spaces. They give a very ethnic look when compared to
linear minimalist modular and wooden furniture,” says city based architect
Amita Raj, ARDeS Architects and Designs.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="outline: 0px;">
Also, unlike wood furniture, cane provides flexibility to
craft designs and shapes of one's choice. Apart from traditional patterns, the
international catalogues feature contemporary designs that can be made to order
by city based cane furniture manufacturers.
As for the cane, apart from domestic wicker, cane Andamans, Malaysia and
Indonesia can also be imported for a premium.
The native cane from Assam and Bareilly is equally sturdy. Choosing good
product and differentiating from bamboo is not difficult. “Bamboo is hollow
while cane has a solid core. When looking for the cane, the gauge and
sturdiness are to be checked,” says Ashfaq.
Ethnic, elegant and earthy, cane continues to attract urban buyers who
want something extra and unique for their homes. And it is a boon for the
families on the move.<o:p></o:p></div>

break. Also direct sunlight and heater ducts are areas to be avoided. Consider
using a humidifier in the winter which can be especially helpful to keep the
air moist and not too dry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

keep the cane supple, too. Lemon oil, orange oil, or mineral oil (use
sparingly) applied to both the top and bottom of the cane seat a few times a
year is usually sufficient.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

sitting on the seat, not concentrated weight, like a knee or foot. So NEVER
kneel on a cane seat or use it as a ladder or step stool. Doing so will cause
the cane strands to break and the seat will need to be rewoven prematurely.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Is your seat sagging?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

begin to sag with heavy or prolonged use. It is important to tighten the
cane or it will begin to wear and break along the inside edge of the seat
frame, both on the sides and front and back edges.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: dark2;">Cane seats that are not too badly stretched or that are free of broken
strands, can be revived by turning the chair upside-down and applying a warm,
wet cloth to the underside of the cane seat. Let the cloth and cane dry
naturally overnight. Remove the cloth and turn chair upright and don’t let
anyone sit on it for at least 48 hours. This treatment will dry and shrink the
cane, tightening it up in the process, taking the pressure off the inside
wooden edges.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the seat thoroughly with warm water. Then let the seat dry overnight and as it
dries the cane will shrink and pull tightly once again. Don’t allow anyone to
sit on chair seat for at least 48 hours until it’s completely dry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

first five years of recaning and won’t work at all if there are several broken
strands. Using this preventative method three or four times a year should be
sufficient to help prolong the life of your cane seat chair for many years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

than 14 inches. A chair pad will distribute the weight evenly and take the
pressure off the individual strands of cane, thus making them last longer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

mild detergent in warm water, using a soft cloth or perhaps a soft bristle
brush.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Rinse well and
then let the seat dry naturally on a warm, windy day to eliminate the possibility
of mold and mildew setting in which will damage and stain the cane. Do not sit
on the seat for at least 48 hours, otherwise the cane will stretch out of
shape.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

strong solution of bleach in warm soapy water to clean. Then rinse well
and dry outdoors in the sunshine on a warm, windy day. Be careful not to spill
the bleach solution on any surrounding wooden frame parts and wipe off any
wooden surfaces immediately.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Cane furniture storage and usage tips.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

in wet areas where mold and mildew can present a problem. Basements, crawl
spaces, up next to a wall, or on the porch pushed up next to the wall of the
house where the furniture does not get adequate air circulation are places to
avoid.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Caning a chair seat yourself? Then be sure to bevel the inside
edge of the seat and sand it well before beginning to weave.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: dark2;">This applies to weaving both the traditional hole-to-hole strand cane
method or the sheet cane, spline cane, or cane webbing method with the large
hole in the middle of the wood frame. The inside wooden edge of the seat is
usually a sharp 90 degree angle and may eventually cut the cane, if this step
is forgotten. Use a small rasp, file or plane to pare down the edge and then
smooth with sand paper.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

No need for final finish treatments of varnish, stain or
lacquer on newly rewoven cane seats.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: dark2;">Because chair cane has a naturally glossy finish, traditionally cane
seats are left unfinished to allow the cane to absorb moisture in the air and
remain flexible, expanding and contracting. Although cane will darken with age
on its own to a nice honey-brown golden color, it will take several years to achieve
this.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: dark2;">If you feel you must apply some sort of finish, high oil content
furniture polish products can be used successfully; lemon oil, orange oil and
mineral oil. Occasionally, tung oil varnish or even wax furniture polish are
used as a finish on the cane without harmful affects.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

or need to match a new chair seat to an existing set, use oil-based stain
(Minwax brand is good) and then a coat of lacquer or varnish can be applied
over that. Do not apply varnish to the underside of the cane seat, though.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: dark2;">Realize too, that the finish may not match exactly, may be blotchy in
appearance, and will tend to dry out the cane, which may cause the seat to fail
prematurely. The preferred method is to leave a cane seat in its natural
state, without adding any final finish products.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

a padded cushion over the seat to gain many more months or even years of use. I
recommend to all my customers that they keep using the chair until the entire
seat (or large portion of it) fails, before they have it rewoven. Enjoy!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
