be covered with the cane (see cross-sectional view). Measure the cane thickness and recess the frame by that amount. It is easiest to cut this recess using the router, after the spline groove has been cut.

The cleat method of installing webbing does not involve either splines or glue. Instead, the webbing is anchored in place by four sections of wood, called cleats, which are screwed to the inside edge of the frame. As shown in the cleat detail, the webbing is simply sandwiched between the cleats and frame. After the webbing is aligned, fasten one cleat; pull the opposite side tight and fasten that cleat, and then repeat the process on the two remaining sides. Trim the excess cane flush with the frame.

There are many potential uses for pre-woven cane. It may be used in place of a panel in frame-and-panel construction, as a purely decorative surface, or in more traditional applications. Note that if the spline method is used, by flipping the frame so the webbing is on the inside, as we have done with the TV-VCR unit, the panel takes on a more three dimensional appearance. Be careful to install the cane so the glossy or finish side faces out.

Although no special finish is needed for pre-woven cane webbing, experts recommend leaving the underside of the webbing unfinished. A light application of lemon or furniture oil once a year will prevent the cane from drying out and becoming brittle. Wuj Editor's Note: Sources for cane and spline are listed on page 37.

as you come to them, and to fill these spaces with glue.

With a single continuous spline, which can be used if the groove is rounded in the corners, it is best to start the spline in the middle of one side (see detail). However, if the groove is squared at the corners, you will need a single spline section for each side. Miter the spline ends where they meet for the neatest fit. Clean up any glue squeeze-out, and allow the glue to set for at least 24 hours. As the cane dries it will shrink, pulling the webbing tight.

Because cane webbing has a measured thickness of between 1/8 and 1/16 in. (depending on style and weave), if a slight recess is not cut into the frame surface to accommodate it, the cane will project off the frame surface by the dimension of its thickness. Depending on the application of the piece, this may or may not be a problem. For a flush look, however, it is necessary to recess the area that will
