A person who makes, repairs, or weaves cane into chairs, baskets, or other objects; a craftsperson specializing in cane work.
From 'cane' (the plant or material) + '-er' (agent noun). Caning as a craft dates back centuries, with Indian and Southeast Asian caning traditions being particularly renowned for their skill and intricate patterns.
