Popular Post Evans_Woodcrafts Posted March 6, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Hello everyone! First time poster, long time lurker. I primarily hang out on Instagram but favor the old school forums too from time to time. Here’s a rocker I just completed using Scott Morrison’s plans. Scott, primarily known for his Maloof inspired rocker, also has plans for this guy. My goal is to eventually build a Maloof rocker but wanted to first gain some confidence by completing this. I will speak very highly of his plans and will eventually get around to posting a testimonial on his site. Back to the rocker. I decided to go with Cherry with this build due to a great price I found on the 8/4 stock. Of course after buying I realized there was a little more sap wood than I could see with the naked eye. I purchased 55 bd. ft. and after cutting and planing around sap wood I have approximately 10 foot left. For finish I decided to go with the Maloof finish, both the poly/oil and the oil/wax. Following exactly as directed, the finish came out fantastic. The hardest part was sanding up to 400. While constructing this project I completed many first, including power carving and bent lamination. It was a great project to test out my new 3hp 15” Jet bandsaw. Of course having my Festool RO125 made things a breeze too. Thanks for viewing! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely shares similar lines. The sculpting of a Maloof is a bit intimidating! Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThat turned out fantastic ! Did you use Maloof joints for the seat to legs ? Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk It is not, just simple dados but a very well designed joint. Thanks everyone! I couldn’t be happier with the outcome!
