This was my second attempt. Made from a maple I cut about 3 yrs. ago. !/3 Tung oil, 1/3 BLO, 1/3 varnish. The last coat replaced the varnish in the mixture with bees wax. Took a lot of elbow grease to rub out that wax!

Here's a rocker I've been working on for my grandson. Made out of black walnut and 30 min / 3500 PSI clear epoxy. Almost every cut is a angle cut. It would have really helped if I had a plan or at least a drawing, instead of just a picture in my head.

Finally completed my second Maloof rocker. It is made of highly figured curly ambrosia maple. I used the Charles Brock plan for this rocker but used some modifications based on experience with the JSR woodworking rocker build of late 2008...
Hello friends,

Sapele Rocking Chair with Holly and Walnut Accents, Coopered Headrest and Upholstered Seat. My own design, influenced by Duncan Phyfe, Sam Maloof, Hal Taylor and my lovely wife Carol.
SWMBO asked for a rocker so I decided to go the adirondack route rather than a more complex design. This was plenty complicated for someone like me who is slowly relearning long forgotten skills. What I liked about this project was the opportunity to use most of the stationery tools in my shop...
I just got home from the Lancaster, Pa. area where I saw a rocker I would love to try and build. It was in a small Amish shop that I went in. It is called a bent rocker, I presume because of the steam bending on parts of the frame. Has anyone ever tried this type of chair or know of where I...
I am looking for plans for the EDO rocker built by Thom Moser. If you have them or could tell me where to get themI would appreciate aany help you can provide. Thanks poppop
Sapele with holly accents on the legs.
I have to bring it back down and put on another coat of finish (wipe on varnish). Finish looked OK in the shop (basement) but not so good in the living room lighting.
