Maloof Inspired Rocking Chairs #3 & #4

Project by William King posted 79 days ago 581 views 5 times favorited 15 comments Add to Favorites Watch

These two chairs were made for a retired Air Force Lt. Col. and wife. Both chairs are made with quarter-sawn oak and walnut. I like the way the flakes in the quarter-sawn oak turned out.

Great work on those rockers William, the grain on the seats is very cool.

Nice use of oak. Beautiful. How do you attack the end grain legs to the long grain rockers? Glue and screws and plug the hole afterward? I know Maloof was fond of screws.

these chairs are great

after spending so long making one i don’t know how you can part with them

the grain features really stand out and give these chairs more of the wow factor

Nicely executed…Have to admit I liked Chair #1 best though, but I have always been partial to Walnut for these kind of sculpted chairs.
