To Knot or Not to Knot
To Knot or Not to Knot - that is the question. After using the no knot method for the last few chairs - I am not convinced that it will hold over the long haul. I do see its use for chairs where there is a groove underneath...the David Dick method is good for backs (located on our website). But I am just fine with the old fashioned method of tying. I will keep using the different methods to suit each chair.

I've been caning chairs for just over a year and for the first 10 months did it strictly with knots. Then I tried my first chair with the no knot method. I really like not having to tie off the ends, but it does make the holes quite tight. I think it's easier with chairs that have bigger holes. I, like you, will use whichever method suits each chair!
