Splint
Chair Caning
Our first quality Flat
& Flat Oval Reeds are machine cut from rattan cores. Flat
Reed is the most often used material in basket weaving with one
side smooth (the top) and one side rougher. Flat oval is oval on
the top side and flat on the other, providing a very interesting
texture when woven. Both Flat & Flat Oval Reeds are
available in one pound coils.
