Fourteen months old, barely toddling. I decided on a rocker, and in the construction two things unfolded: It became an exercise in materials-at-hand which translated to a nice tour of some hardwoods, and (2) it didn’t have a farm animal head (rejected early on) or a nice modern bobsleddy shape. It became, in retrospect, a grandpa self portrait.
Species: quartersawn red oak, big leaf maple, walnut, eastern hard rock maple, birch, fir and alder.
