caner

Wicker furniture maker

A caner is someone who canes—either a person who weaves cane into chair seats and furniture, or one who administers corporal punishment with a cane.

The craftsperson sense appears in contexts like The caner restored the antique rocker.

In British English especially, caner can also mean someone who drinks or parties hard: He's a proper caner on weekends.
