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.
