CHAIR SEAT WEAVING FOR ANTIQUE CHAIRS
by Marion Burr Sober,  self-published, Whitmore Lake, MI, 1964/1977.
This is a book about giving new seats to old chairs.  Chapter topics include:  caning, fiber cord weaving, genuine rush weaving, ash splint weaving and tape weaving.  Each of these topics is treated as a material undergoing a process from preparation through weaving technique and finishing.  A glossary of terms is also divided according to these weaving materials and methods.  Every page shows illustrative line drawings to aid the written instructions.  Clearly, this is a “how-to” book, with lots of information about troubleshooting, supply houses, step-by-step directions.  If you are a restorer of antique chairs or simply want to experiment on your own family heirlooms, you will find this book will provide you a starting point and encouragement to see a project through to a successful end.
