That is some beautiful walnut and you did an awesome job on this chair. I am very envious of your skill. I would REALLY like to build one of these if I ever reach that level of skill.

You’ve got a great looking rocker there. Wood is outstanding and I love the style.

Very nice indeed, I’m just starting mine and finding the opportunity to buy lots of new tools. How do you compare working with walnut vs: the cherry one you made?

-- If you say 'It's good enough', it probably isn't.

I have 4 chairs out of Walnut and at least 6 out of cherry and they are very similar. I find that the dust is worse with the walnut but the grain patterns is nicer. This chair I had difficulties with the walnut not being completely dry but I blame that on the mill. I enjoy working with walnut more than cherry but cherry sells better in my area and I can get it for ~ $3 a board foot.

I have enough Walnut for at least 2 more rocking chairs but I might try a rocker cradle instead after a few house projects are completed (bed, bar stools, coffee table, & whatever else my wife finds that she wants).

Wow, the figure on the back of the slats is awesome

I have this on my to do list in the future; been buying the tools i’ll need bit by bit, and i’ll eventually get to one.
