This is Shaker reproduction rocking chair. Built entirely from scratch. No kits. I really felt as if this project took me back to a time where handwork reigned supreme. I totally enjoyed this experience in woodworking. I was amazed at how each piece became stronger as each was fitted into its total unity. It is a design where the strenght of each piece adds to the total strnght of the finish unit.

It is one of my future projeckts, I have been looking in my shaker furnithure book so many times and dreamed of that chair, I even have a set of drawings, but no place to put it now.
You have made a wonderful job there, beautiful chair.

Best thoughts,

finish is navaho red latex paint…not a milk paint, sprayed on with a HVLP spray gun followed by a flat waterbase poly.
