My Mom use to go to tag sales and purchase chairs and rocking chairs that  
were caned and the caning was broken.  She use to pay between  $5 and  $15 for 
the chairs.  She then stripped the varnish or paint off them.   She would 
revarnich or stain the chair and then cane it.  They were  beautiful when she got 
done with them.  She had a friend that always worked  with her on it.  Her 
friend would tend to the reed in the bucket of water  and feed the reed out to her 
while she wove the reed.  Her friend died  going back about 5 years and she 
tapered down and stopped caning.  
 
She learned through a senior center that gave lessons doing it.
