Rustic Cedar Rocking Chair

Dick this is an AMAZING rocking chair. Oh how I wish I had one of these in my backyard.
Once again I am in awe of your talents.

Thanks Debbie
Now that you own a router, you can get yourself a tenon maker, & make lots of things if you have a source for wood. It’s something you can do outdoors in the summertime.You can even use tree branches that people haul to the local land fills . I bought my Tenon Maker at Rockler.

Nice job Dick. Did you hand carve the rocker rails (it looks like it from your second picture)?

Thanks Bill
No I used my jig saw. I had to cut them twice, because the first time I had too large of a radius. It didn’t rock properly.

It’s a hobbit chair.

I made it kind of small, but it fits my Sweety fine. It’s almost like the three bears story.

Dick, do you have any pictures of you using that tool that you have put on my list of things to buy?
How does it work?

oh never mind—they have a video!

Now this is truly unique work. Nice job. This is some kind of master piece. I love the rustic looks because it is always unique. No two pieces of wood are the same. Not just grain but the shape of the branch or the texture. I know of one guy who does this kind of work and I was so impressed with it. Very nice Dick. Very nice.

Dick, in one word, Beautiful

I never did such a work but I admire you. OK, I do panel gluing, chest of drawers, coffee table etc, etc but here, you just took the nature and put it as it is in your balcony (that is made the same), very nice and I think that it’s more difficult…for the coffee table, I have the machines and jigs to make the work for me…

Thanks everyone,
Here’s a Video of the Tenon Maker in action.

Very nice chair Dick. I guess if your chair falls apart then you can truly make it firewood.

Thanks Diane.

Hey Karson, I can’t burn it, my wife is allergic to smoke. That’s why I make furniture out of all the firewood. LOL
