Great rocker. When I see stuff like this I know I have a long way to go. One day I’ll attepmt something like this.

CA will be better for the new acquisition…very nice chair….makes me want to get to work on my chair (it is on my honeydos…and on a very long list…LOL)..That is some beautiful cherry and the work is fantastic. Did you spray or hand finish? Is that a gloss finish?

-- Woodworking.....My small slice of heaven!

That is some beautiful craftsmanship!! Sam would have been proud. Very nice.

-- Pops ~ In So Cal...

Awesome job on your rockers. I was checking out your sight and i saw you are from harrison Arkansa. My daughter now lives in Russellvile. Fantastic work.

-- Monty Q, Columbia, South Carolina.

Wow, very impressive work. I’m sure the new owners will love these projects.

-- Bob A in NJ

Yes, someone said going home near Sam Maloof’s old place, yep near San Diego…in this case the family lives by the ocean west of San Diego, is only about an hour southwest of Rancho Cucomonga…Sam’s old home. Its kinda ironic to meet and work with Sam many times and then finally send a couple of chairs to his old area. I actually feel like I’ve broken some un-written law or something. I just hope nobody compares mine to one of his…I’d have to hide under my workbench for a week!

The finish is BLO, minwax satin and minwax gloss. I’ve described in one of these forums how I put it on, I need to do a BLOG on it, I’ll work on that. There are 8 coats of gloss and 1 of satin. I use the wipe on type of minwax in the small can.

Thanks for the nice comments!

Fantastic rocker, looking forward to your blog.

-- Dale West Central Pa. Do it all, before last call.

That is just beautimus!

-- Joe

I could never repeat it the way Sam Maloof said it, but it was sorta…. BeeeeUuuuutifull. I never heard another person say that word the way he did. But beautimus is certainly good enough!
