Making
If you are not a woodworking geek, I will not put you to sleep with the details. If you are, give me a call! We can talk for hours.
Here are some key aspects of your family rocking chair:
- You choose the hardwoods
- It is all about the grain!
- Planed wood-to-wood joints that are as perfect as wood will allow
- Custom fit to your family
- Hand-made one at a time.
- Date, names and your “special saying” will be burned under each chair seat to withstand the test of time.
The process is the same AND it is totally different with each chair. The nuances are the greatest interest that I have in each piece. From the minute I see the grain in the wood, the lure is immediate. The more you discover, the deeper you are in the process. Half of the fun of woodworking is planning. How many board feet? Wood grain? Getting just the right design. The tools and details like which jigs to use. We’ll create this chair together. Your body, its measurements, and how your mechanics work translate into the perfect imperfect chair.
