How could she not love it, you knocked it outta the park. Youd have to pry my butt outta that chair. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing work. The wife will love that.

Amazing work!!! Won’t be another one like that made for sure!

Beautiful chair! All of the accents really set it off, especially love the natural elements of the box elder stump!

Duane, you’ve done it again, beautiful rocker. Nice to see you back on LJ. Hope all is well.

Hey Dale, good to hear from you, Thanks everyone for your kind words. Was a lot of fun to make.Love to save wood like this that was headed for the burn pile. This is the second rocker I have made out of the stump. Sadly that is all she wrote.I will have to look for another stump.

This is a great rustic rocker. Really inspiring work. Thanks for sharing it!

All the best,

Joe

You did a remarkable job on this rocker: the joinery is beautiful and I love all the live edges. One of the nicest ever posted here and certainly the most unique.

Do you know what you’ve done?? Do ya Huh?? You’d better be figuring SOMETHING out ‘cause this one of a kind, beautiful chair could cause your kids to FIGHT….yup… you have a potential family disaster because everyone and their neighbor will want this chair when you’re gone. As simple as a concept as it is, I’ve just never seen anyone use live edges on a chair and it is drop dead gorgeous. The joinery is beautiful too. You’ve probably primed the pump for a lot of us on LJ to think about doing some things just a little bit different.
Thank you!

I agree with everyone’s comments. This is the first rocker I have seen with rough edge pieces. Looks great.
