Chair caning companion

Seven passes. No lost strands.

Most cane seats are abandoned around the fourth pass, when every hole looks the same. Seven Pass Seat is the friend at the bench who has done it a hundred times. Try it right here: trace the pass hole to hole.

Everything on the bench

One app, the whole workshop

๐Ÿช‘

Seat layout

Enter your hole line and cane size. Get hole count, spacing, starting point, plus how much cane and binder to buy.

๐Ÿงต

All seven passes

Watch each pass weave itself, or trace it by finger. The right hole clicks; the wrong one tugs the strand back.

๐Ÿ“

Pattern calculator

Drag a frame to real size, pick ribbon or reed, and see length, weight and coils before ordering. Checkerboard, herringbone, twill, hexagon and more.

๐Ÿ’ง

Soak timer and test rod

Timer by reed thickness, then bend a virtual rod: it curves clean when soaked, cracks when rushed.

๐Ÿ”ง

Repair plans

Torn mesh, loose wrap, dry frame, sagging seat: answer a few questions for a plan with times and a shopping checklist.

๐Ÿ‚

Seasonal care

Away from the radiator in winter, out of midday sun in summer, washed and covered before frost.

๐Ÿ’ฐ

Quotes that pay

Material from the count, hours from the journal, your rate and markup. Know what you earn per hour.

๐Ÿ““

Project journal

Stages with photos, materials, hours and notes, ending with a before and after slider.

About Us

Pull up a chair

๐Ÿช‘ We are a small crew of makers, restorers and software tinkerers who have stared at more boxes of cane than we care to admit, and built the guide we wished we'd had.

๐Ÿงถ Our mission is simple: nobody should abandon a half-woven seat because the holes all look alike. Craft should feel doable from the first strand.

๐ŸŒฟ Seven Pass Seat gives you the layout, the seven guided passes, pattern maths, a soak timer, repair plans, seasonal care, quotes and a journal of every piece you finish.

Pull up a chair. It's the one you're about to cane.
