The brass peg, for traditional caning
Used in the traditional caning of chairs and armchairs, the brass peg temporarily locks the rattan cane in the holes of the frame. It holds the tension of the weave while you pass the next strands—an essential step for a neat, even caning.
Using it well
Keep about ten pegs to hand: craftspeople use several at once to lock different points of the work at the same time. Brass, soft yet strong, does not damage the fibre and lasts a long time.
