Teachers: Supply your students with these footstool kits and they can all learn on the same size project. No need for students to haul their own chairs to class! The finished frame shown was sprayed with Oak Weaver's Stain before weaving. Legs are beveled, and frame is multi-level, as shown. Note: This product includes an un-asembled Footstool Frame with Legs plus 270' narrow medium cane + binder, 12 pegs, Chair Caning Booklet, and plastic-handled awl, as shown in the product image above. Sold un-assembled. You will need a small amount of carpenters' glue to assemble the frame. Beginners Tip: Be sure to weave the first two rows loosely so that the cane is bouncy when you place your hand on it. That is, the cane should have some spring to it. Do not weave these two rows tightly or the final rows will not fit into the pattern. The photos below are of the same footstool in progress. The smooth finished pattern at right began with the first two rows woven loosely, as shown in the left photo.
