Great looking chair you’ve got there!

Fred,

This is a really nice chair. You had a wonderful opportunity presented to you with this class.

Well done.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Now sit down and take a load off, you deserve it. Great looking chair!

What a strange bunch we woodworkers are. While most people vacation on the beach our R&R is spent woodworking! I guess this is the secret handshake we all share! LOL!

Well done. I was reading Mike’s blog on making the rocker the other day and liked his comments that it is so much more than just a sack back on rockers. I have only built the sack back and continuous arm so far and would love to get up to NH to learn with the Windsor Institute.

How are you going to finish it? Stain or milk paint?

Way to go, I’ve been waiting to see how your rocker turned out and you have not dissapointed me. It looks great. I agree with TedM, we must be the only idiots in the world who’s idea of a vacation to go sweat over a piece of wood all day, get a shower, dinner and off to bed so tired that you just want to get enough rest so that you can do it again tomorrow. Great rocker, did you get your leg splay angles dead on?

Fred you made this beautiful shair in one week. You guys were really rolling.

Great chair

Thanks for the post.

That is a beautiful chair. I have always been in awe of the craftsmanship required to create something this nice.

-- Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit.

Thanks for the kind words guys! I still have to put some finishing touches on the chair and then it will be black over red milk piant. My six year old son has claimed the chair so it’s time to make another. I’ll be going back in August to do a Philly High Back and will be counting the days. My wife will soon be a Windsor chairmaker’s widow!

Great job Fred from one chairmaker to another!
The sawn arm chair or Philly high back is a nice chair to build and makes what I believe is the best looking windsor rocker. Keep it up!
