FIG. 10. METHOD OF LOCATING HOLES ON WING OF CHAIR.
To clearly understand how the holes are located on a wing of this chair refer to [Fig. 10]. The left upright and lower rails are at right angles to each other. The upper rail is curved and the right upright slanted. Measurements are begun at the lower left hand corner and proper distances spaced on the left upright. With the arm of a try-square against this upright, points are marked on the opposite upright in line with those on the former. This operation is repeated on the lower rail and the upper curved one. Strands of cane will then obviously run parallel. Inasmuch as there are five holes in the base and eight in the top it is necessary that three vertical strands be run into the slanting upright in any holes which will permit the strands to run parallel to each other. The photograph of the caned wing, shown in [Fig. 11], should make very clear the foregoing explanation. Experience with several unusual shapes is necessary before the weaver feels confident of readily caning any area of odd shape.
