Walnut with ebony dowels. Finished with 6 coats waterlox original. Used templates provided by Charles Brock. His video and instruction booklet were helpful as were countless photos on the web.

I've built seven rocking chairs, but never a Maloof. I think I will have to do one.:)

Yours is really nice.

That is a great looking rocker. I have always wanted to build one. It is on my list.

Great job, Sam

Just beautiful work, wood choice and contrasts are spot on. I have always wanted to do a Maloof chair. Very intimidating to me though.

Very nice. I would also like to tackle one of the Maloof rockers at some point.

Nicely done overall; great choice of wood for the top rail!

How much did the plans cost, by the way?

Marty: The plans, which included an instructional booklet, DVD, and templates, costs $89. Brock does a good job of explaining most things, but there were numerous steps where I felt more pictures or a better narrative would've helped. In those cases, you just need to trust your own eye and search google and youtube for additional pictures and advice.
