Creekside Caning

08/25/2026

One year ago I took a massive leap of faith and started Creekside Caning! I am incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported me by allowing me to restore your antique and heirloom chairs in the past year. This year has been such a wonderful learning experience and I am so excited to continue serving North Alabama with all of your caning, rush fiber, and restoration projects! Please take a moment to share some of my posts of projects I have completed this year and help me keep spreading the word that I am here and raring to breathe new life into YOUR antique cane chairs!

Love and blessings,
Grant Wallace, Creekside Caning

Howdy y'all, I'm Grant, founder of Creekside Caning! I discovered rattan caning at the start of 2025 and fell in love with the intricate craftsmanship that it requires. I'm excited to be opening for business to serve North Alabama and preserve this disappearing art. If you have chairs that need recaned or or rush fiber chairs that need rewoven give me a call or text at 256-286-7087 or message me here on Facebook! I would love to help breathe new life into your old chairs!

This week I completed a full restoration on this beautiful antique ladderback chair! From stripping, sanding, and refinishing, to weaving a new danish cord seat into it, this little chair is ready to last many more years now!

I would love to restore YOUR antique/heirloom chairs too!

Over the past week I had the opportunity to do my first lace cane to pressed cane conversion! I'm absolutely thrilled with how this project turned out! In addition to converting the seat to pressed cane, I made 4 new rungs to go between the front and back legs, and repaired the 2 rungs between the front legs. This chair is now sturdied up and ready to last for many more years!

I would love to restore YOUR antique caned chairs!

Did you know cats love woven seats also? This week I redid these barstools for some friends whose feline fur babies had used the seats as scratching surfaces. Rather than trying to weave the new seat on the wooden inserts that the originals were on, I did rush fiber seats woven directly onto the frame of the stools. This made for a prettier surface, and a more comfortable seat!

Last week I had the privilege of weaving a new seat and back onto this amazing folding chair that my customers purchased shortly after they were married in the 60's. This was my first experience weaving with Danish Cord and I could not be happier with the result! Thank you Mark and Bonnie for letting me restore this beautiful piece for y'all!

This vintage baby stroller has proved to be a challenging, but incredibly rewarding project! When I was asked if I could restore this beautiful piece of history a few weeks ago I genuinely had no idea whether or not I could do it. This project required just about everything short of actually reweaving the wicker. New paint, new wheels, new fabric lining, new trim, and even a new little pillow to match the bonnet lining! Thank you Rob and Sharron for trusting me to undertake this project for y'all, I hope this piece can be treasured by you and your family for many years to come!
