01 · SET UP

A map of your seat.

Count matching holes on opposite rails, mark the four shared corners, and add observations at each hole. For rectangular, hand-caned seats with 3–16 non-corner holes on each rail.

02 · KEEP GOING

Pause with confidence.

Choose the strand you are working on, record it, undo a mistake, or revisit a completed strand. Keep notes and up to six progress journal entries with photos.

03 · YOUR CHOICES

Record your diagonals.

Add the endpoints you choose for the diagonal stages. The app is a project recorder and schematic companion; it does not calculate fish heads, crossing order or routes for irregular seats.

04 · KEEP A COPY

From screen to workbench.

Export and import project JSON backups for free. CanePath Pro adds printable project PDFs with maps, observations, strand records, notes and photos.

A SMALL TOOL FOR YOUR WORKSHOP

Start free. Make room when you need it.
