Great looking rocker! I bet your wife takes over this one, you’ve still got time to make one for yourself. LOL

I agree with Hal…. you still have time! That is truly a beautiful piece of work. The only way out of making 2 (as I see it) is ? .. 0h heck… there isn’t one. Maybe a sitting schedule will work. With that kind of craftmanship, your wife just made a new list, you won’t have much time to sit. LOL

Beautiful work a wonderful chair.

Another beautiful rocker. You have done a great job. I can see you took some time to carefully match and select the wood to get the most out of the grain pattern. The chair looks great.

So what did you decide to finish with? Did you go Watco like Hal recommends – or something else?

Looks nice – I have Hal’s plans and the wood to do it, but it hasn’t happened yet.

Another beautiful Maloof rocker. I love the laminated rockers and the way you oriented the wood grain makes it a very special piece. My goal is to someday have the skills to build one of these. Not sure I’ll live long enough!

Oh Yea, it a beautiful chair thanks for posting…BC

Nicely executed. I like the seat and the crest.

I’m not much of a fan of rocking chairs (too young yet) but I am a fan of fine woodworking and this really makes the grade. There is sculptural beauty in your perfect flowing curves with a seat element that is beyond compare. The centre blond area and the layer of light wood carries the day for me.

p.s. Don’t forget to add “chair” to your tags.
