"Cane Work" is a classic guide to weaving baskets, offering the reader simple instructions on how to make a variety of baskets, ranging from the simple and practical to ornate and decorative.

Contents include: "Materials", "Terms in Use", "Directions for Workers", "Finishing Touches", "General Instructions", "Remarks on Borders", "Fancy Baskets", "Flower basket, Waste Paper Basket, and Table Basket", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.
