TR Tolzmann, hand chair caner. Since 1972. I also refinish furniture in what I think is the traditional way. Hand chair caning is work that makes me feel good. Why? It re-enlivens tradition—hand work—a craft. It makes something usable again—restores it, as it were. It can use skill and dedication in the caning—the doing. The skill is a natural trait—good with my hands, it seems to be an inherent trait. It seems the skill is essentially wanting to do it well.
