About Your Moderator Charles Elliott

I work with furniture repair and restoration, specifically all types of seat weaving and woven furniture restoration. I have worked with wicker (round, flat oval and half round), willow, banana leaf, seagrass, caning, split ash and oak, flat reed and fiber rush. I have gotten some unusual projects in the past couple of years as I have gotten more into the wicker and willow. I have taught caning, fiber rush, and flat reed seatweaving in the Erie, PA region for 12 years. Since I work with rattan materials for much of the seat work I do, I also use the materials to make baskets, including Nantucket Lightship style baskets. I would be pleased to help maintain the forum and share thoughts, resources, and insights to collectors, historians, and weavers on wicker history, research, design, restoration, and collecting.

Also take some pictures and post in this group....you never know who might want to contact you with an interest in your wicker pieces.

Comment by Debra Yancey-Miller on June 29, 2014 at 9:11am: Oh, by the way, I have baby beds, tables, chairs, wood carriers, settees, blah, blah, blah.

Comment by Debra Yancey-Miller on June 29, 2014 at 9:10am: Charles,

I especially love the green with yellow! I have an entire barn full of vintage wicker that I don't know how to sell. It is not easy to ship you know. That was a pun - "ship". Anyway, any ideas?
