Windsor Rocking Chair

Nothing better than a satisfied customer!

Well done. The hound seems happy too

Hi Kenn,

This is a nice looking rocker. It looks like she is so happy with it that she wasn’t going to give it up for any reason. And I can’t say I blame her.

Thanks for the post.

Great looking chair. I’m working on a rocker also.

Thanks everybody. Rockers are fun to do, this one just fought a little since I was on a time deadline. I’m convinced its that Karma thing. She’s thrilled with the chair and has it in prime spot in her home, just right for reading and relaxing. I’ll keep an eye for your rocker Gary.

That is some amazing detail. I tried to capture some carving/scrolling on my miniture rocker. Your piece is just amazing. What kind of wood did you use. How much time did you invest in this project?

Very nice rocker. You did a beautiful job on it besides pasting on a heirloom to your family. Thanks for post.

God Bless

Nice looking chair!!! What kind of paint did you use?

-- Kevin -- (http://www.kevinswoodshop.blogspot.com)

Thanks for looking. The wood is a variety, seat is one piece of poplar, turned spindles are maple, crest and spindles are red oak, and the arms are mahagony. I used two coats of Old Fashioned Milk Paint, chocolate brown on the bottom and Barn Red on the top. Then I buffed it out real well which gives the paint a nice gloss,and applied two coats of Minwax wipe-on poly. A light buffing and it was ready for delivery. I spent about a month working on the project but that was probably only about 50 hours of actual work.

Awesome Rocker! There is definitely a feeling of accomplishment when you are watching a loved one enjoying a project you have put your heart and soul into. May 4th I will heading to New Hampshire for a week to make a Sack Back Rocker with Mike Dunbar. Hopefully it is as handsome as this chair and my wife is as happy as your step mother. Great Rocker!
