12. It's worth it!

I love Shaker stuff, even Shaker stuff thrice removed like your little rocker probably is.

I wouldn't suggest you take on caning a seat, although it's simple once you get going. It's getting going that's the PIA. Weaving a rush seat is much easier and is almost instant gratification, it's so quick.

We need pictures when it's done.
