Rocking Chair

Nice work! Did you do the seats yourself?

Extremely nice. I know it took a lot of patience to make 4 of these.

Very well constructed and beautiful.

Thanks everyone.
Dennis, yes I did the seats. My father used to do chair caning of all types and that’s something he passed on to me.

I really like the woven seat and back, was it difficult to do? I can imagine your front porch is very inviting now…..I would like to make a bench swing one day, althogh I don’t have enough overhang on the roof above my deck. I remember my grandparents had a couple rocking chairs and a bench swing on thier porch when I was young, the chairs and that squeaky screen door that would close with loud crack each time someone came in, didn’t need a door bell back in those days… Anyhow…wonderful chair

Nice job Tim. What better project is there for a woodworker than a rocking chair? You need the space to relax and think about the next project.

Now how about a chair for the Mrs?

Tim A great looking chair. When we go to Cracker Barrel I always sit in a rocker in front for a while. Never made one though.

Looks great

Great chairs Tim. I wish I knew how to do caning like that. Any chance of a blog about that??

Thanks again, Guys. I recane chairs as a sideline, in between jobs or during glue or finish drying sessions. Next time I get one of this type to do I will photo the progress and post it.

Tim,

This is a really nice rocker. If I were passing by I would have to sit down and relax- it looks so inviting.

Thanks for the post and the construction blog on the caning would be interesting as well.

Very nice rocker. You did a beautiful job on it. Thanks for posting.

God Bless

Good looking rocker – sure looks inviting. Bet it would even fit my big bottom :-)) Did you buy some plans are or is it your design? If you bought the plans, where did you get them? I really like this chair.

Bill, this design was loosely based on an antique rocker that I re-caned. It was a large rocker and fairly comfortable, so I made it a little bigger and altered the style, to meet my non-turning criteria for building furniture.

I’m like Carson. Sit in many of them. Built “0”. I’m sure I’m a much better sitter than a builder of one of these. Looks great. I know it was a difficult project, but after the third I bet the forth was easy.

Nice work Tim!

Looks like a lot of work in one of those.

Easy to see where you get your nickname.

Very nicely done.
