Kambo The Caning Works

For a whole year I have had a dining room chair sitting in a corner in my family room, unusable because its caned bottom had a tear in it. I would walk by that chair daily and think, «I’ve got to find a caner.» I asked everyone I know and everyone with whom I came into contact, «do you know someone who canes?» Anyone who came to our home, «do you know someone who does caning.» NO was almost always the resounding answer. If they did know someone, the person was dead or no longer had a working phone number. It was getting more depressing by the month to see that chair.
Then, my new dentist had caned chairs in his waiting room, so I asked there, «who does your caning?» «Never needed fixing yet, but we have another chair being fixed, I’ll ask them.» When I got the name and started looking for the place, I found Satha Chheang instead. He is new to Fresno, via Marin County, and caning is his specialty. He took my chair right in, fixed it up, and now I have this good as new bentwood dining chair I can again use.
Satha does very good work and is not reasonably priced. If I did what he did, and there was such a demand, I would be expensive too. I’m just glad he decided to move to Fresno even though he does still return to the Bay area to do work for his clients there.
