I love all the natural materials you use in your projects. This may be weird, but I'm curious what those materials smell like on a finished piece.

There are no unpleasant odors. I suppose if you put your nose to the cloth you can say it smells old.

@@Buckminsterupholstery honestly that's amazing. Even if the odor was different I imagined it smelling natural as opposed to oppressively chemical. I'm completely here for it! I have a some furniture I inherited from I'm guessing the 1930-40s. It's my goal now to bring these to you to restore.

@@Buckminsterupholstery Thank you for your kind reply. I guess it is about the Italian ruby twine. It happens that in my country there is no such twine and I have to buy it in USA and import it through Amazon, as it is an expensive item until it arrives in my country, I needed to know the quantity.

I have noticed that some cut the webbing before the spline is put in and some cut the webbing after the spine is put in is there any real advantage one way or another or things that I’m just missing.? Some use Elmers glue and some use hide glue?
@Buckminsterupholstery25 күн бұрын
I can't see how cutting the webbing to size first would work too well. Short ends of the weave would slip off in the curves, or a long strand along the straight edge. Sounds very risky to me. Carpenter's (Elmer's) glue and hide glue don't bond to each other. Hide glue softens/cleans easier with water. In cases of antique furniture, hide glue will re-bond to the original hide glue and it will be more friendly if the cane is replaced again down the road.

@@Buckminsterupholstery after the wedding has been fitted to the chair before the spline is hammered into place. Some people cut the excess material off with a chisel, then glue and hammer the spline into place. Sometimes I’ve seen where they cut the excess webbing off after the spline has been hammered into place. Is one superior to the other or just preference
@Buckminsterupholstery13 күн бұрын
Probably a matter of preference. I can see where pressing the webbing into the groove first would also work fine. I think pressing the spline in as I go around helps keep the webbing in place.

Can you explain why you coated the cane in Tung Oil please? I am in the UK and hand weave cane for a living. Split rattan needs to breath and have the ability to absorb moisture which it can't do if coated in oils or varnish. However, even though I've been caning for 40 years, I am watching your video because I've never done pressed cane before so I'm wondering if the tung oil has a purpose?
@Buckminsterupholstery2 ай бұрын
I used tung oil to enhance the color. I had never heard not to use finishes. I differ with you on this. Lots of manufactured furniture has a finish going back 100+ years. Lots of present-day furniture has a tinted lacquer finish. Wicker furniture has a finish, some painted.

I just bought 2 cival war chairs..no seats..need to be restored. I am looking for ideas how to do the seats, as they are just holes now.
The strap should be made different, without seeing this cut "white" sideline. in Europe (Netherlands) it´s nicely wrapped from both sites. Also we would fist put 1-2 cm hardfoam (polypress) on the seat-base, and after that 3 cm polyether-foam, this way you never feel anything from the hard coilstrings. BUT: The seat looks nice, good job !
@Buckminsterupholstery3 ай бұрын
I was unhappy with the white line and corrected it on straps since. That said, from viewing angles once the seat is on the bike and on the ground, it's not noticeable. As for your foam suggestions, I followed suit as closely as possible from the original construction without modifications.

Hello. I have two chairs that I would like to redo with a very low profile seat, like these. They don't have the tin parts (they were webbed in the past), so I don't know if I should make some out of tin or if there is a more commonly used material (like thin plywood ?) that would also work. If I use webbing, then the layers of stuffing, then my outer fabric, I can't figure out what I attach the fabric to if there is nothing to wrap around as you did with the tin seat. Initially the chairs had a very thin leather and then they were nailed all wround, with the nails very close to eachother. The wood on my chairs is pretty beat up from all those nails, so I worry about how well the nails can hold. Having a new ;layer of something thin, like the tin or thin wood, seems like it might help. Thank you!
@Buckminsterupholstery3 ай бұрын
These tin seats were highly unusual from my nearly 50 years experience. Sight unseen, it sounds as if your chairs originally had pressed-fiber seats, almost like cardboard with a tooled-leather embossing. For more information you can email [email protected]
