Popular Post treesner Posted February 1, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 \ "Fits you like a glove" tended to be the first reaction from the folks who sat in this rocker after it was done. Very pleased with how this one turned out. Nearly all the parts on this are steam bent, even if only a bit on the ends to bring together the overall organic look and feel. I designed the back to come up higher than most and the rails follow the contour of your back and hook back forward at the top to make it easier to rest your head on the crest rail. Some more close ups: top right is the wedged spindles left proud as a design detail called "buttons." On the left a different leg style I tried this time with the tenon cut in a smaller diameter the leg, tapering slightly with a bend into the rocker joint and pinned with a square rived dowel (bottom right) I used some curly red oak for the armrests that feature a slight concave on the top and taper beneath.

Coop Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 That looks so comfortable that you don't need a beer holder as you would probably fall asleep before you're able to finish it. Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
