That is one great looking chair if you ask me.

-- Gary - Never pass up the opportunity to make a mistake look like you planned it that way

That is a gorgeous rocker. Its probably the most beautiful I’ve seen.

-- Brad, Oregon- Wood, it's what's for dinner.

Grizzman you do realize that adopting such a piece is a large responsibility. You must give it your undivided attention. You will inherit it’s need for nourishment to maintain it’s figure. You must pet it on a regular basis to make it feel as special as it is. Hint it likes it when you rub its arms. I am a good person and as loyal as it has been following me from show to show I would not want it to go to a home that it would not be loved. Would you By chance have a resume for me to review so that I can evaluate weather you will be a proper home for my loyal unwanted companion. You are correct that I am in a giving mood being Christmas and all and I would very much like to give my wallet a much deserved gift. Perhaps you could give me a suggestion of what I should give my wallet I have never been good at figuring out what to give. It makes me happy that you enjoyed viewing the chair Grizzman.

Ha, what rhetoric. This isn’t unlike trying to sell snow to an Inuit. Seconds on this page and I’m already visualizing a plan, patterns, type of wood and a cut list. Keep it…. you don’t want to break up a set anyhow. Really, some awesome stuff here.

I totally dig this chair, bear. It is a said state of affairs we are in today in this country. It truly worries me. But we’re still the best in the world, and my blind faith tells me I’m going to find work again, people are going to be nicer to one another, and you’re going to sell your chair.

And look – before I found this place (LJ), people were all pretty rude, selfish, and the word ‘craftsmanship’ was lost years ago. Now I’ve found a really great bunch of guys who kid around and help each other, and many of them are fine craftsmen like you. So I guess my job and your chair are coming up next on the list.

Keep faith and thanks for the post – and the humor…I really needed it.
God Bless

That’s incredible. It’s like the cadillac of rocking chairs.

I dont´ understand all that you mean but picture I understand, it´s art and after artist has gone everybody wants it… so great work!

mynoblebear, this is certainly a most beautiful chair and i would be so proud to have such a fine piece in my home…and would love to grace your wallet…but I’m a disabled woodworker with a very small income and would not be able to do anything financialy..and i truly hope it finds a home that you would be happy to have it in…my resume is my gallery…from the home i have built to all of its furnishings,and who i am is posted in over 600 postings on this site… ...good luck in finding a home for this beautiful chair,,,and have a merry christmas…

Thanks for posting this beautiful chair. I’m still encouraged by the ones who still do appreciate a handmade piece of furniture, whoever they are. Since I haven’t made a similar piece, I appreciate seeing it on the post.

Kirk has the right idea about hoping for things to get better and what a blessing LJs is to sharing our work. This being Advent on the church calendar, I also take stock in remembering the source of that hope.

Take care,
Jim

Wonderful chair. If I could afford something like that I’d certainly buy it.

That looks like a very nice chair!!! Good Work!

-- Joshua Warren {Also know as- Porkchop}

Outstanding craftsmanship and beauty!

-- Never board, always knotty, lots of growth rings

With a response like this it gives me the inspiration to move forward on some of the hundreds of sketches that I have stuffed in a file waiting for a time to create them. I have the wood I just need to find the time and the space to place them after they are created.

dude if I had the dough I would gladly take that chair off your hands but on the other hand I would have you make me one just for me to sit here in your chair feet kicked up typing on the net to fellow LJ’s Beuatiful work!!

-- Scrap piece 903,812 and still going

Thank you for the positive response Glivingston there are times that we all just need to hear some positive feed back for all our hard work we do on a daily basis. Perhaps a wad of dough will fall into your lap one day and at that time I would be happy to create a personalized wood seat rocking chair for you. Thanks again for the positive comment in response to my wood seat rocker.

Think about it as selling who YOU ARE. Not just the chair. People like interesting and original woodwork. But not as much as they like interesting and orginal woodworkers. Now go find the oldest person in the country to sit in and sign the bottom of this beautiful chair and then go sell it. And take lots of pictures of the adventure! :)

I agree Miles that I need to do a lot more work on selling who I am and at the same time show more about the process of creating my personalized furniture, rocking chairs. I definitely have this on my to do list. Thank you for the forward thinking and I am positive it will help me move forward in my quest to be a well known American custom rocking chair maker.
