Windsor Rocking Chair

Project by kenn posted 454 days ago 267 views 0 times favorited 11 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I made this rocking chair for my wife after attending Mike Dunbar’s class. It was my third rocker. It is finished with milk paint, chocolate brown over salmon, and several coats of Danish oil.

Kenn,

Great looking rocker! Gotta love cutting those bridle joints and fitting that bow! Just came back from NH with a Philly High Back in tow that I posted a couple of days ago. I didn’t even let it cool off and I e-mailed Mike to let him know that I will attend the Nantucket class in March and the Settee in November. Can’t get enough! Keep on building they look great!
