This was quite a challenge with all the angles. I lucked out and didn’t ruin the wood (cherry is very expensive here). If you brought the rocker all the way over to the end of the rocker and let go, it seemed to rock forever. The top acted like a pendulum to keep it going. Although you can’t see them on these pictures, I also etched a wandering ivy design on some of the faces.

Very nicely done. I understand what you mean by the challenge with the angles. Sometimes this woodworking makes me wish I had paid more attention in Geometry class.

Beautiful!! A family heirloom for sure. Was this made from a particular set of plans or did you design it yourself?

I got the plans from a friend. They did include full size drawings of which I used those that had the curves to be cut on the bandsaw. The rest of the cuts I did were on the table saw or jig. I’m not comfortable with templets since the time I tried some that were printed wrong. I like to measure (a few hundred times…) and then cut. ;o)
If you are interested, I’ll email you the company name.
