Did some trading over the weekend and ended with some cool projects. Got a Finn Juhl cane chair ,unknown desk and dining table base.
The chair obviously is need of new cane as well as a hold down screw for the back rest. I realized jsut now that this is no ordinary cane like what u use to get out( roll of cane) there but instead it has very thin individual strips of cane woven into the seat frame. I'll seek help on this one and contact a local cane expert here in town. The rest of the chair is very good and sturdy with no break or loose joints.
As for the desk, a very cool and unusual one. i've never seen one like it. No marks as to who made it. Has two small drawers tucked underneath and up front a book shelf. two tone wood combo of teak(top) and oak for the base.
Third item is a dining table base only(no glass). Zebra wood veneer. two long aluminum bars on top.

That kind of caning is hand woven, as opposed to the press-in kind that comes in sheets. It's actually very common in antique chairs but pretty rare in mid-century modern. It's not terribly complicated to do but I never mastered it and I'm pretty good at picking up that stuff. You should have no problem finding someone to do it, though. There are lots of people still doing hand caning.
