Pretty simple pocket hole construction with poplar and edge banded birch plywood, painted black with an oil based paint.
I have never worked with caning before, and probably won't again. ๐. Getting it aligned and pulled tight was a chore.
Plans based off of the ones found here, and modified to my wife's requirements. https://www.thisoldhouse.com/house-one/22598580/how-to-build-a-console-cabinet
There is a roughly 1 inch rabbet around the interior of the frame and the cane sits in that recess and a thin piece of wood is placed over the top to sandwich it in place with staples. I had tried it without the extra pieces of wood first but my staples kept blowing through the cane or ended to loose to pull it tight. That extra strip solved those issues.
The first step involves soaking the cane in water so it expands while you are installing it, then as it dries it pulls tight.
