Nice work! Traditionally , this type of chair bottom is called a “split “ or “splint “ bottom and referred to both oak and hickory splints. Typically, cane bottoms are for chairs with a fancy bottom with very thin strips of machined canes. Great work with the hook and eye approach to latching the two splints together. I have a settin’ chair made and bottomed by my great grandfather, Andrew Jackson Blair in eastern Kentucky about 102 years ago. Hickory splints are solid as new. My children still bottom chairs.

Jared, Thank you so much for making this video. I have a chair with a hickory bark seat. It was made by my great grandfather in the early 1900s in the Ozark Mountains. My Mom asked for one of the chairs because she could remember sitting in it when she was a little girl. The chair is small so I'm guessing it was made for Great Granny, she was a tiny (but strong) woman. All the other chairs that he made were burnt up in a fire, so the one I have is the only one left. When I saw you splicing those hickory strips, I stopped the video and looked at Great Grampa's chair to see how he spliced it. It looks like he made two narrow strips and tied them in a knot. I've always treasured the chair, but now I love it even more. Thanks

Jared, for a more finished look compress the front bark splints to cover the rung of the chair. Because the front is longer then the back once the weaving is done add in one or two additional pieces on each side and it will cover the front rung completely. Use the knife as you did before to manage weaving them into the tight weave, they don't have to be attached, the tight weave will hold them.

@@FlutyLickHomestead - Jared, over the years I have done some leathercrafting/leathercarving, mainly for friends and family as gifts. My name and the date is always somewhere in the design or elsewhere on the item. Usually says "Made by", etc. I have a belt that I carved and dyed for my father-in-law, with the unique design that he wanted. I made it in 1978, and I am still using it. He died in 1993 and my mother-in-law gave it back to me. It is one of my prized possessions - has years and years of use left in it.

Jared, as I watch more and more of your videos, which I love, I'm curious to know where you are learning all of these lost arts. I'm assuming either you have an entire network of older folks by whom you are being mentored or you do a great deal of online research-or both? As I've mentioned before, I grew up in Eastern KY in Russell and I loved the way the older folks would mentor the younger ones. It was always great to pull up a keg of nails or a milk crate and sit and talk to the old timers-both men and women. Northerners don't do that so much. They're always in a hurry. I actually think that is because the summers are so short that you have to get projects done fast before the ice and snow fly. Anyway, it's magnificent that you are preserving old knowledge of practical things. If you will, please enlighten me as to how a young fellow like yourself knows so much old knowledge? You don't have to give all of your secrets away. ;-)) Thank you for all you do and God Bless.
