Trapezoid
Caned Seats and Seat Frames
These seats are big and comfortable! Perfect for those times when you prefer to sit during long paddles, fishing or just relaxing on the water.
Constructed of select Ash hardwood, the seats feature mortise and tenon joinery.
For "Frame Only" seats, the frames are sanded and the edges rounded slightly for maximum comfort. The holes for caning are pre-drilled and chamfered slightly (on the top side), ready for you to varnish and weave with the caning material of your choice!
For "Pre-Caned & Varnished" seats, the frames are treated with 3 coats of spar varnish.The cane is then hand woven into the frame using medium size plastic cane & binder.
Plastic cane is the perfect choice for the weaving material in a canoe seat! It's almost indestructable, the soft feel is complimented by it's inability to splinter and fray! It doesn't absorb water or stretch when wet, it closely resembles varnished natural cane and it requires no maintenance!
In either seat style (above), you trim the length to fit your placement in the canoe.
