<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 1809562, member: 8267&quot;]Rattan (from the Malay word rotan) and cane are 2 words for the same material which comes from various species of climbing palm that produce long vines. The outer skin of the vine can be split off to make the thin pliable cane, used in weaving the back and seat of [USER=197]@wildrose[/USER]&#039;s chair. Larger pieces can be used whole - I think some of the sub-structure of the rocker looks like rattan (it has nodes somewhat like bamboo). The round inner pith is also used in basket weaving where it is called &quot;reed&quot; in western parlance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
