Walnut with Purple Heart rocking chair

Great looking chair. Those accents are great also. I have one of those on my list to make.

How long did it take you?

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

I have done a few of these now so I have the templates jigs etc. so I am a bit quicker but the first protoype about 250 hours

What would it take to get you to make me a copy of your jigs? :-)

Another beauty, Scott! This one looks like it would be very comfortable with that built-in lumbar support.

The back slats alone is a thing of beauty, I really like this chair

Beautiful chair, Scott.

What do you charge for those? I couldn’t find any prices on your website.

-- johnjoiner

This chair is $4200 most of my rockers are between $3000-$6000 depending mainly on wood.Some say I am to low on the price but right now I am comfortable getting that much from one

great looking chair. i never thought to put Walnut and Purpleheart together on the some project but they look great together.

Hi Scott,

This is a very unique and interesting chair.

Thanks for the post.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

I really like that leg/seat detail. Beautiful

WOW…....

Beautiful chair Scott. Love the way you’ve incorporated the purpleheart accents.

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

I built a box out of walnut and purpleheart, I like the contrast myself and I think they compliment eachother.
The tie ins give it a kind of pinstripe look, really racy to go with the sleekness of the chair. Perfect for an afternoon of NASCAR. Maybe you ought to name it the racing rocker! Just a thought anyway… great work any way you look it!

Wow, that is so nice. I really like purpleheart.

-- Maplewood, MN

Beautiful chair Scott, and the purple heart is unique. I love the combo. And you’re only selling it for 42.00 dollars? Wow that’s cheap, you must have a lot of hours into it, LOL. mike

Nothing short of a true work of art. Nice job Scott.

-- Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit.

While I really don’t care for Purpleheart in most applications, this is really well crafted. No detail spared, huh? I imagine the templates cut the time in half. Nothing like having a template to speed up production. In reality though, template or not, you either really put in some hours or are a quite gifted fast woodworker. Maybe a little of both!

I was unsure about adding the Purple Heart to this chair but seems most people are liking it thanks for all the feadback.
Grovemadman-I like the “Racer Rocker”name maybe I can market to some Nascar drivers!!!!!

Scott your chairs are just awesome. I always enjoy looking at them – and this one was certainly not a disappointment. I love the woods that you used in it. You can certainly see the Sam Maloof inspiration in your chairs.

Scott,

I may have to rethink this whole Windsor Chair thing after seeing this rocker. It’s truly a work of art!

-- Fred.... Poconos, PA ---- Chairwright in the making ----

I Don’t know FJDIII there seems to be a big market for the Windsor chairs!!To bad your so far away we could trade showing each other how to make a chair.I always wanted to try making a Windsor.
