County Weaver

To all the folks that I met at Port Royal Va Pirates Festival and are now following me, thanks. I learned my skill from my mother that wove for fifty years herself. She picked up the skill from Edwin Lundy outside of Greensboro Ga. That shop was on the road that went to Union Point Ga. The year might have been about 1954.
My father was a Methodist Pastor for 50 years himself. We lived in places like Cordele, Rebecca, Byromville, Remerton (Valdosta) and Ellaville. All towns in Georgia. In July of 1976 I departed for the U S Navy on a Trailways bus. I never moved back home. I served 21 years and 10 days. I have been to many countries and sailed in the Atlantic, Mediterranean, Indian and Pacific Ocean. I crossed the equator twice and been through both the Suez and Panama Canals.
Now I’m just the County Weaver. I am always open to teaching people how to weave their own chair or weave coasters.

This Saturday in the city of Port Royal Va Pirates will be on the loose. The County Weaver (a Shellback himself by 2) will be present “Just Raisin Cane”. The craft of Antique Seat Weaving and Caning will be demonstrated.
Human caning will be performed on request only.

These seven Clore chairs are destined for the Dobbin House Tavern on 26 August 2026. They have a fiber rush seat woven into them by the County Weaver in King George Virginia.

Greetings and salutations to all. Currently I have 597 followers, just 3 away from a good even number. Maybe those 3 will be found today.
I have three chairs woven for the order of seven chairs for the Dobbin House Restaurant and Tavern in Gettysburg Pa.
I am located in King George Va and am willing to teach you this skill. It’s all in the understanding of following a pattern and using your two hands.
Step up to the plate and learn a new skill.

50 years ago this month (21 July 1976) I stepped onto a Trailways Bus in Ellaville Ga for the trip to MEPS Atlanta Ga. Every job that I had afterwards was due to being a Navy Radioman. Professional Naval Communicator.
Go Navy!

Just in the past three days. Another will be in the works today.

Our recent trip to Elkton Oh and Gettysburg Pa was a good one. I was able to give out several handmade and handwoven coasters. I gave away more than I sold but that’s not a problem , just please look the County Weaver up on Facebook and even more enjoy them daily use. I recommend that you write the year that you received it. They make great gifts for those people who could use them.

This is a Clore rocking chair and is still available.
Some rungs have been replaced and glued again. As you can see it doesn’t have a seat yet. A rush bottom, flat reed in a herringbone weave pattern or a wide binding seat can be woven.

If you are looking for perfection, it’s not here. Each one has its own issues, but this is my best effort. They are woven tight so it will feel like they are sitting on a rock. After being used at the table for a few good meals they will get broken in. The final touch was a coat of amber shellac that will extend the life of the seats.
The type of weave is “fiber rush”.
These will last for another 20+ years. Just keep the cats away.
