They were perfect for the job.
I was thinking that a much wider wedge with a curved edge would help in setting the cane. You would just set the wedge on the cane on the side you intend to use the wedges on, then rock it back and forth on the groove to establish the depression, then use the wedges to set the groove.
It could take the guesswork out of finding the groove.

Caning wedges
The wedges worked as they were supposed to and saved me the time of having to cut them. I did trim and smoothe several of them to better fit the size of the grooves in the chairs being caned.

They are as described---could have made them but for a "first time caner" they were worth the cost

End user - home owner
This was my first time caning chairs - I have several that were damaged by a major storm - blew out the windows. These are stout wood and did not break like the clothes pins I was using.

Worth the money
They worked well. The only problem I had with them was they got wet due to canning having to soak in water.

Necessary for recaining.
These were of good quality. Make sure you have enough wedges to complete the job. I use one wedge every 2 inches.

haven't had a chance to use them et. The quality looks good and I may have to trim them down to fit the grove, They should work extremely well in inserting the spline. Good value for the $.

worked well
This is the first time i have done any caning so thought of trying these. They worked well with some practice. The grooves in my chairs were wide so the wedges didn't hold tightly but there were enough wedges to do the job.

Excellant
This was my first experience with sheet caning. These wedges worked just as expected. Of course one can easily make wedges oneself but I was unable to find dimensions. These were a convenient size. The Rockler sheet cane and reed spline also worked as expected.

I have recaned a number of wicker chairs over the years. These wedges are important to a successful project. The wedges are of good quality. Having enough wedges makes the job easier and assures that the cane is stretched properly.

Richard A on Mar 31, 2018
Why when I push the cane down into the grove it doesn't stay. What can I do about it?
Elaine P on Feb 11, 2017
BEST ANSWER: I didn't have any trouble with the cane staying in the groove even after I removed the wedge, but I used a rubber mallet to tap the wedges into place. The only suggestions I have are to make sure the cane is pliable enough after soaking it and that the groove is cleaned of glue and other residue. I folded a small piece of sandpaper in half and ran it through the groove several times to remove the dried glue. I wouldn't sand too much, though, because you want the spline to be snug. I hope these suggestions are helpful. Good luck.
