Project Information

Here is a mission style rocker that is a copy from a Stickley chair that is my families cottage. I made it out of white oak and finished it with General Finishes gel stain Candlelite. I then put 2 coats of Arm-R-Seal from General Finishes. My wife picked out the fabric for th seat and I made that with a maple frame that had jute webbing stretched on it. There is 3" high density foam with 3 inches of poly fill then a cotton cover fabric. The final cover fabric then got stretched and a dust cover on the bottom. Very comfortable and it will be perfect for rocking my kid it that is due to arrive anytime.

Nicely done! This caught my eye in all the recent posted projects, partly because of the color, but mostly because of the style. If you don't mind, I'm going to consider copying this x2 for wife and myself to relax in our bedroom reading corner. The bedroom furniture theme is loosely Stickley.

Nice piece of work. What radius did you use for the rockers.

I would like to see more pics as well …

Since my wife, son and I are the only ones in our house 99.999999% of the time (Holidays excepted) we're talking about tossing our couch and just buying three Lazyboy type chairs with small tables between them, and then two chairs (one a rocker, one not) for where our loveseat is.

And I'm looking for some nice plans/pattern to work from.

I will post more pictures soon and feel free to copy. The rocker radius was 31" if my memory serves correct. Thanks for the comments fellow jocks

Wow, I have an old original mission rocker that looks very similar to yours. I have always wanted to replicate one of these, even though I have one. Well done!
