Beautiful. Hopefully someday I’ll have the aptitude and ability to make such fine furniture.

Man, that is fantastic work and very beautiful design. I showed my wife your last two seater and she insisted that the unsupported span on the back top rail would be too weak. I couldn’t convince her otherwise. As they say, nobody pays attention to a prophet in his own land.Could you just say a few words on that so I can win the argument? I’m sure she will believe you.

Great Job, Beutiful. My dream is to build a Roker. How many hours of construction led to first.

The double rocker will support two people of a reasonable weight. A couple at 150 pounds each would be no problem.
You have to be reasonable. Don’t sit a pair at 300 pounds each. A single rocker will easily accommodate the heavier folks.
Aflixa, the double rocker has about 120 hours labor.
Mike, you and your wife are both correct, it just depends on how much load you intend to place on the chair.

Spectacular design and execution. I wouldn’t know where to begin to build a chair like that. My hat’s off to you!

Thanks for your answer Gerry. Shucks, now the wife will never give in when the next one comes up. I have to admit she is right more often than me.

Paul, Rick and any other Texas Lumber Jocks. I really hope you will be able to attend the show this year. There a lot of great furniture pieces at the show this year. I don’t see how you could be disappointed. The core group of returning artists continues to improve their work each year that they bring to the show. I saw some really amazing pieces before I left Monday at noon. I would have liked to stayed to see more as they came in, but I had a 420 mile drive back home.
There are about 20 new people showing their furniture this year out of a total of 58. I think there are over 70 different pieces displayed this year.
