These solid maple caning wedges are the ideal "helping hand" when installing woven cane and spline. Caning wedges feature a blunt narrow end to help prevent damage to cane or spline during installation.

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

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 $.

Why when I push the cane down into the grove it doesn't stay. What can I do about it?
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.
