Subject: Caned cabinet doors?
From: "Glenn Ashmore"

I am back on some fun stuff now that the weather has eased off. Interior
cabinet work. I need to make a lot of cabinet doors and with ventelation in
mind am thinking about using pre-woven chair caning. Anyone have any
experience with how long it will last with things in the cabinet bumping
into it? I am leaning towards a herringbone pattern rather than the
traditional octagonal holes.

I used some in some teak frames that I use to hide the back and side of the
microwave on my boat. I sprayed it with satin poly and it has lasted 10 years
so far.
If things bumping into it is going to be a problem could you put some kind of
rails on the back of the doors?
