Thank you Artzi. That's an excellent tutorial.
Now if I could learn to braid the thin rattan around the scabbard or the hilt of a sundang, I would be a happy man. Steve Ferguson |

Thanks Artzi, this will be very helpful indeed!
Of course i'd also love to fogure out those fancy braided wraps as well. |

I am, indeed, thankful to Artzi for this new skill. Now the problem becomes one of finding good rattan materials, preferably the thinner the strips the better. Any suggestions of where to purchase would be appreciated.
...and NO, I am not making baskets on commission as some jokesters have suggested! |

I've ordered from Royalwood Ltd. at Royalwood They sell rattan for chair caning down to 1.25 mm width. I've always gotten good service from them. Steve Edit: You can also find it at http://www.franksupply.com/handcaning.html and www.caneandreed.com but I've never bought from them. |

Did anyone happen to download the demonstration photos from Artzi? Would be a great resource to add back to this thread. It is not archived in the Wayback Machine...

Jeff,
Artzi's post was made to this forum, not the old UBB forum. If he had uploaded the pics here they would still be available. Perhaps he linked them from his server. Hopefully Charles or someone else who posted on that thread still has the pics. If nobody has them, perhaps you could write to Artzi and see if he still has them and would like to share them again.
