Pineapple Feet

Picture
Pineapple Feet although aren't all that common, there are still a number of old and new furniture items that have these feet/legs.

Below are pics showing step by step method of replacing a damaged Pineapple Foot.

Tips:
# Tools required: Stanley knife, small hammer with small nail or staple gun with small staples. Water and damp cloth.
# Only soak the Round Core/Reed, usually 3 or 3.5 mm dia for a few mins in warm water, and as long as the reed remains damp, it's good to use.
# Small staples are ideal for fastening the reed. Tacks and nails can be used but they tend to split the reed.
# PVA wood glue can be used, especially around the bottom of the chair legs and arms.
# Once the Round Core/Reed is dry, you can burn off with a stick lighter any cane fibres that may have lifted from soaking in water.
# Apply a finishing coat. Shellac, Polyurethane, Oil or Lacquer. Or leave natural. The cane will darken naturally with age.
