Re-caning a Canoe Seat Frame

Replacing a sheet of pre-woven cane into a canoe seat is simple with a few tools and a bit of time.

Did I understand you to say that you coated the cane with varnish?

[@OrcaboatsCa]

Yes, to protect the cane from wet and dry cycles which will promote rot.

@@OrcaboatsCa I have some spar urethane. Would that work?

Nice video. Where do you get your replacement cane and wedge strips?

I was purchasing from Lee Valley, but I do not think they carry it anymore. There are other suppliers on the interweb.
