Spline

The wedge-shaped reed spline is used to secure the woven cane to chair frames having a groove. It is very important to select the proper size spline. For example, if the groove in your chair frame is 1/4" wide you would order size number 9 1/2 as shown on chart below. If unsure of
size please send a small sample of existing spline. Spline is available in 6' length, 50', 100', & 1000' bundles.
