Where are you located?We're seat weaving while RVing and winter in Fort Langley Mid-October thro mid-April and typically spend our summers in the Calgary area mid-April thru mid-October. We hold meetups in outlying areas to pick up and return weaving projects to outlying areas. Many pieces can be mailed for weaving so if we're not coming to your area contact us to find out if your pieces can be mailed for weaving.

Can you stain the fresh cane?We live and work in our RV so do not offer an staining services. Cane doesn't need to be stained and can be left to age naturally. If you'd like to stain your cane, we can give you some scrap to colour test on.

Why do you charge a deposit for folks taking part in meetups?We schedule meetups in outlying areas to pickup and return pieces once we've booked a truckload of projects. We don't charge any additional fees for folks taking part in the meets (fuel, time, ferry, etc.) however need to ensure that we cover our costs so charge a $50 per piece deposit which will be deducted from the cost of weaving services upon completion. Deposit is applied to individual pieces. As an example, if you book in four pieces and bring three to the meet, you forfeit one $50 deposit.

Do you offer classes or sell materials?We're seat weaving while RVing. Due to the natural of our lifestyle we do not offer instruction or material sales.
If you would like to mail your woven chair seats, backs, or shelves to Caning Canada for weaving repair, most chair seats and backs can be removed and posted to our Fort Langley, BC winter site.
