Thanks for the comments guys! The first Picture is the retrospect. the second one is the original 1988 design. Keep the saw dust flying!!!!!

Great design! That’s a fantastic looking chair.

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

Both are impressive works! To me the second one is my favorite. I like the curves and soft edges. Looks very inviting.

Yet another design triumph and yet almost entirely different. I’m not impressed, I am awed.

Wow, another beautiful chair. A few similar attributes as the other one, but both unique and beyond beautiful. I like the other chair (the rocking chair, tumba tumba) better but that’s just me. Both are fantastic.

Galing!

Nice to see another Pinoy artist in the LJ fold. I am a Pinoy but not an artist. I like the way you name your pieces and the use of native species. I hope to see more of your projects and the other Filipino artists as well.

I like the design and execution. Great detailing and grain patterns. I imagine your wood is very hard and dense. I’d like to know how you carved the seat so nicely? Power tools, hand tools or a combination. Carving pine is one thing but your wood looks very hard.

Another beauty. Well done

Very interesting design. You deserved the award!

Very nice flowing design. I don’t know anything about Filipino woodworking history. Does this borrow from traditional designs? Also, from what I can tell from the pictures, it looks like all pegged tenon joinery. Is that correct?

Beautiful and artistic design.

GREAT, Amazing!

This chair won in the year 2008, and the Rocking Chair should win the Award for the Decade. You have my vote.
