Unfinished Replacement Cane Seat for Kennedy Rocker
Note: Seats are handmade and may not be available FOR 3 TO 4 MONTHS. If you would prefer to be put on a waiting list and contacted when available, please email your information. Also, please check your seat dimension at the very back from side to side. Around 16", you have an older seat; 16 1/2" newer. Let us know which so we can be sure to send the correct size.
Your Kennedy rocker's woven cane seat should last for many years of use, but should something happen to it, don't worry, it can be replaced. We have replacement cane seats available for your Kennedy Rocker (Model 1000). To remove your rocker seat you will need a Phillips screwdriver to remove and replace the four screws that fasten the seat to the rocker.
Your seat will arrive to you unfinished. If your rocker has a Natural Oak finish, all you may need to do is apply a polyurethane topcoat to seal the cane. If your rocker is older and has darkened some you may want to apply a light stain first. Polyurethane interior protective topcoats are available in matte, semi‐gloss, or gloss, in wipe‐on types,
water or oil‐based.
If your rocker has a Village Oak, or Dark Harvest Oak finish you will probably want to buy some type of wood stain like Minwax (http://www.minwax.com), or Cabot (http://www.cabotstain.com). Both of these brands have helpful information on their websites. Some products are a stain and top coat all in one.
Begin by applying a small amount of your stain to the bottom of the new seat or an inconspicuous part of the back to test the color. You may want to wipe some excess off with a lint free rag so it doesn't soak in too much or stain darker than you like. After this test area dries you will be able to tell how much color has soaked in and decide whether this is the color you want.
After the stain dries finish by applying a topcoat to seal your cane.

MANUFACTURERS CANE CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Cane is a natural fiber that will last for years with proper care. To keep your seat and back from becoming brittle we recommend a light misting monthly and more especially if your rocker is kept near a heating vent.
Should you find a loose or broken piece, use a small amount of wood glue to repair. Pressure will needto be applied with a heavy object or clamp to help the cane lay flat.
