    Having A Museum Quality Chair
                By Ronnie P. Goff

     When hand cane chair holes are resized fo the next size chair cane
it is critical that it is done absolutely correct because once you remove
to much wood from the hand caned chair you cannot put it back!!! You
have also compromised the structural integrity of the hand cane chair
you are doing for a client!!!
     Drill a set of practice holes in a scrap piece of wood beginning with the
original size hand cane hole you want to in large!!! Then begin in larging
with the next size drill bit, & so on until seven (7) short pieces of hand cane
will fit in the resized hole you have drilled!!! This will give you a visual be-
fore you actually drill, & resize the holes in the hand caned chair!!!

*NOTE: Frank DBA Frank's Cane & Rush Supply uses a
similar system simply because it absolutely does a superior
machine cane soaking job period!!!
