Not only great craftsmanship on weaving the chair bottom, but Jared your a good Teacher in showing how its done. Thanks for sharing and once again God Bless and have a Great Week 🙂.
Jared - the ALL-A-ROUND skills that you have learned in your young life, constantly amaze me. You do DANG good work and with pride in doing it right without being a perfectionist. Nothing is perfect. You are a good teacher and your voice shows the patience and will to teach as you go through any project on the vids you make. You can say the vids of projects are a resume' of sorts. I enjoy and like your style and I live in the city and worked in the medical profession all my working life. Now 73. I always look forward to any new vid that you post. Thank You.
Howdy Brother- mighty fine job weaving that chair. Not many people who can do that stuff nowadays. Thank you for showing this. Hope y’all are doing well. Take care and God bless
Thanks for showing how you weave a hickory bark seat. I'll be doing this soon to a couple of chairs I made so I guess I'll be watching your video a lot.
Good work. I done 6 seat bottoms, 2 kids chair bottoms and 4 adult bottoms with bought flat cane using your weaving method from the older video about the chair. We don't have hickory on the farm, nor have my neighbors. I just can't stand to see a perfectly good piece of equipment, like a chair, not being salvaged. God made a season for each kind of work. In the spring we're planting, in the summer we're planting and harvesting and growing, in the fall we're harvesting and preparing, and in the winter we're working on the accumulated summer work like chair bottoms! I'll see if I can get me a picture of one of them chairs I done. Ain't as pretty as yours, but functional!
That is awesome! Glad it helped ya! I like fixing the old chairs, lot of history in them to let them be tossed! Will last longer than most store bought now
Thanks Jared for demonstrating that chair caning it was interesting and you was a excellent teacher on how to, appreciate your videos and sharing ,God Bless
Jared, I’ve been wanting to know how to do a chair bottom for a long time. Thank you for making this vid!! Love it! 👍👍👏👏👏👏👍👍👌👌👌👌😩❤️ God bless all the Fluty Lick clan (Jared’s)!
Jared I enjoyed watching your video. I'm always loved to see how things are made and I was wondering how the bottoms of these chairs were done. My grand parent's had all kinds of these chairs on there porches.. some with leather or Cain. The always hung them up backwards so I guess to keep chickens that they had free range. Thank you so much for having the patience to show us.
Great video. I’m a city boy who has spent time with lots of country folks. I’ve done cane and rush and even splint seats. Never have seen hickory bark. What a beautiful seat and you did such a good job. Thanks so much - I really enjoy your videos. Ever dig sassafras roots? One of the first country things I learned.
Very cool. I guess my dad used to cane chair seats b4 I was old enough to understand. I really enjoyed watching this. I like your "arrow splice". TYFS Jared. Blessings 🕊
I always wanted to use hickory bark. I have a chair that originally had hickory bark, but not much was left of it. I had cattail rush available down at the lake, so I harvested it in late summer when the tips began turning brown, then let it out and let it dry in a shed over the winter. Soaked it in water before using. I was lucky enough to get some old chicken watering troughs that were long enough to soak it in. I remember seeing my first introduction to seat weaving in the Foxfire books, later got a video from Owen Rein. Now I have more instruction! In Texas some seats got covered with cowhide.
Goodness, I haven't caned a chair bottom for probably 20 years!! I was never blessed to have hickory cane; instead, I always used oak. Sometimes I put cardboard or newspapers in the middle to add a little space filler. You are so right about store bought cane being impossible to splice. When I use it, I always run it under the opposite weaving several inches. There's great money in this. I've done a bunch of sets of chairs for people. GREAT content!!!! Right up my alley!!
This is truly a lost & forgotten art. I would like to see it restored to America. I saw my father restore two chairs like that when I was a very young kid. I never knew how he hooked the ends of the straps until now. Thank you for sharing your video. But shouldn't the straps be over & under one strap, not two or three? I will look forward to your next video as always. Stay well & safe everyone.
You can go over and under 1 but it doesn’t look as good, this herringbone pattern or splint weave was the most popular used and is much stronger the way it alternates canes
Boy it sure is peaceful watching you peel off that thin layer! I learned a lot in this video. I may try something like this here soon. Jared I really do think your the best homesteading/ farm channel out their!
@@FlutyLickHomestead Great idea! I was pollarding curly willow today as the lovely wife wants benches and I have this idea of making green willow benches for our property that will grow in place. So we will see how that goes here.
Enjoyed the weaving a chair bottom tutorial Jared. Nice looking job that will last lifetime. Finn will enjoy sitting in that chair. Y'all take care and God bless.
Thank you for sharing your talents with us. I also do chair bottoms but my hands have gotten to weak to pull the strips of bark tight. You did a wonderful job on your chair. My husband always thought I was silly wanting the bottom to look as good as the top. I was glad to see that you also like the bottoms to look good. Keep bringing us videos, we love them.
Did you use to work in the mines Jared? I noticed the black comfo cap in the loft of your barn. I use to be a coal miner myself I worked at excel mining in Pike county with a bunch of martin county boys I'd say you know some of them
howdy, I never worked in mines. My dad did most all my life and few grandpas did. one of the comfo caps was my father in laws from Martin County Coal and the other I found in a building I tore down once. I Know tons of people who work in mines I prolly would know some of em
@@FlutyLickHomestead awesome Im glad to hear that. My family was raised not to far from you in cherryville in Lawrence county I also have a lot of the muncy side of my family live in wildcat in Martin county
You're a Blessed man and a hard worker. The chair is old but you made him young again. It's awesome!!
Not only great craftsmanship on weaving the chair bottom, but Jared your a good Teacher in showing how its done.
Thanks for sharing and once again God Bless and have a Great Week 🙂.
thank you so much
What a lovely little chair! So nice that you have the skill to give it a second go round. Thank you for demonstrating your weaving skills.
Informative & calming to watch, all at the same time.

JARED, YOU ARE ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS! KEEP UP T.HE GOOD CONTENT. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!
Thank you! Will do!

Love it! When a master craftsman shares his knowledge and technique, he contributes to his own immortality.
That's real nice. Your son can pass it down to his children.
I enjoying seeing you do the chair bottom. I have a very old white oak woven basket that needs repaired. Maybe some day...
That is amazing! Thank you for sharing!!!
Absolutely beautiful

I watched you take that barn down and rebuild it, I love it! Blessings
Wow how really cool. I remember my Grandma having one of these chairs. Awesome video Jared thank you & you have a blessed day as well. God bless

I’ll have to try using cattail! That sounds cool for a bottom!!

Didn't realize you could use oak. Nice to know!
thank you very much, Lucky we do have a lot of Hickory around here! Did you use the oak bark or did you split it into thin splints?
Love it. Great Job.
Great job enjoy watching your videos
Really nice work Jared
Very nice!
I built log hickory furniture. I’m going have to try this.
Awesome video. Please do more like this
Turned out great! Thanks for sharing. I'm always waiting for your next video 🙂
Looks great
great job
thanks for sharing
Great job Jared, enjoyed the lesson again on weaving hickory bark chair bottoms. Thanks again and keep up the good work and keep up the fun too. Fred.
Enjoyed the video that was some fascinating watching. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you and yours ❤

@@FlutyLickHomestead sure thing bud!
Lovely! You should put a few of these up on your etsy, I bet they would go fast.
I hope to do stuff like that when I get my shop finished

It sure is enjoying to weave them! The old guy that showed me always said to make the bottom as pretty as the top so I’ve stuck with that!
Looks great! My Great Papaw used to weave chairs this way. Brought back great memories.
👍
Fun to watch. I have a hickory bark chair and was wondering if it needs a treatment (oil or ?) to make it last longer. thanks
