Beautiful work! Approximately how far apart did you space the holes in the frame? (the patten seems more open than most caning I've seen) Also, what size bit did you use?

The seat frames I've made are a very similar shape - I like the looks of your caning. I was afraid that the non-rectangular shape would make caning difficult, but yours looks great.

Thanks.

: I made my seats like this in my freedom 17' but they are synthetic cane, it
: is woven through holes in the seat frame tho.
