| « Part 57: Sculpted Rocking Chair - Coopered Headrest and Ripping Thin Rocker Strips | Part 58 of The Craftsman's Path series | Part 59: Sculpted Rocking Chair - Seat Joinery » |
Moving on from the work of roughing out components, it was time for some laminations. After making the forms I went to work with lots of thin strips in hand to create the rockers and back braces for the chair. The glue-filled process is covered in the latest post on my blog. Thanks for reading!

Mark -
This is a fun and inspiring blog to follow. I like the idea of adding the aluminum alignment stops. I will bet those were very helpful aligning strips slippery with glue. The rockers look awesome!

Thanks, David.
The alignment stops were definitely helpful. WIth that many lamination strips and that much glue, these things tend to move around when you are clamping them to a curved surface! The alignment also assures that there will be enough material after cleanup to reach the finished width.
The rockers are not yet complete. I still have to glue up stacks for under each of the legs and then there is the shaping…the last of the back braces are in the form as we speak!
