The brass caning peg is an essential accessory for creating and restoring traditional caned chairs. It is used to temporarily hold the rattan strands in place within the frame holes, ensuring the evenness and tension of the weave throughout the process.
Material and Design
Made of brass, this peg offers excellent resistance to wear, corrosion, and moisture, making it a durable and reliable tool. Its smooth surface prevents snagging or damaging the cane fibers, even with repeated use.
Shape and Dimensions
The peg has a conical or slightly tapered shape, facilitating insertion and removal from the frame holes. It is designed to accommodate the various hole diameters found on caned chairs, ensuring a secure hold without forcing.
Use
During caning:
- It is used to secure the rattan strands after they have been threaded through the frame;
- It helps maintain fiber tension during weaving;
- It helps organize the work by preventing the already positioned strands from loosening. Several pegs are often used simultaneously for progressive and structured work.
Advantages
- Firm hold without damaging the fibers
- High durability thanks to the brass
- Moisture resistance (ideal with damp rattan)
