Herewith another ancient kauri rocker modelled on a rocker we bought in the early 60s which seemed old when we bought it. I guess the design must be around 100 years old. The upholstery is in the traditional style with springs, hessian, coconut fibre, wadding, calico and around 1000 staples. I am very pleased to have an air stapler!!

Very nicely done!

BTW....we celebrated the 2009 New Year in your wonderful city. Our hotel was 1 block from the Sky Tower and we had a gorgeous view of the fireworks. Beautiful city!

Thanks Bruce ...I can vouch for the sleep inducing qualities of the chair as I generally manage to fall asleep in the original one the moment the TV set goes on.

Ken thanks ....next time you are down here we had better get together for a coffee, or something stronger.
