Updated pics of unique rocking chair

[Scott Morrison]

These are updated pictures of my Rocker Cradle design. Based on a 1700's Windsor style "Nanny Rocker", it was updated with a modern style and influenced by the master himself, Sam Maloof.

Hope you all enjoy!:D

I'm impressed. Outstanding.

[Don Bullock]

That's amazing. I'm speechless.:D

[Gary Lange]

That is both unique and beautiful. I don't know who it is for but some new mother is going to be very happy.

[Roy McQuay]

That is a beautiful piece. I have never seen anything like it.

[Tim Malyszko]

Now that would make one unique, Mother's day gift. I could not even imagine guest's reactions if they walked into my house and saw that rocking chair. Very cool and excellent work.

[Joe Unni]

...I'm speechless

Ditto!

Scott, I just don't know what to say.

Thank you, thank you, thank you - for your gift.

Humbly,
-joe

VERY kewel!!

[Jim O'Dell]

One word comes to mind...GORGEOUS!!! Nice execution too! Jim.

[Gary Herrmann]

Thats amazing. Mom and baby will never want to get out of that chair.

[Carol Reed]

That is beautiful! Wonderful design. Sam would be proud!

Do have a question though. The seat is a long length. How did you support the cross grain configuration of the seat boards? Just the usual dowels as Sam does it? Concerned about it at all?

I am fortunate enough to know Sam Maloof personally. Would you mind if I showed him your pictures of this?

I know Sam personally as well, and he has already seen this piece. He was at the Western Design Conference, where the piece was exhibited.

The seat uses dowels for strength, like Sam's pieces. I've tested it to over 800 lbs. without breaking, so no, I'm not concerned.

Thank you for the kind words everyone.:D

[Michael Hall]

That is outstanding!!! All I can really say is WOW.

[Carol Reed]

No wonder you are so inspired! Nice work.

[Bruce Page]

I am more than impressed. That piece shows outstanding skill.

[Brian Ross]

Scott.. you rockkkkkkkk.

[Peter Stahl]

Wow, that is beautiful!

[Rich Stevens]

Hi Scott,

Thanks for sharing. What you have produced will most surely make Sam proud - the lines in your rocker flow well and is organic like Sam's own work. The laminated rocker at the bottom looks just one of his.

Workmanship like this is clearly at the highest level only matched by equally gorgeous timber - well done!

So, how many hours did you invest in this piece?

[Rich Torino]

Just an outstanding piece of work...

[Paul Douglass]

HOLY TOMOLY! Or whatever! Beautiful!

[Zahid Naqvi]

Wow! I am speechless, I am sure this rocker will span a few generations. I can see this would be a prized posession for any family. Very well executed.

[Jules Dominguez]

The beauty of the design and the skill it would take to make something like that are just awesome to me.

[Charles Bruno]

Very, very nice chair! Looks like you have Sam's joinery down pat. I've been to a couple of his classes but not attempted to make one of his type of chairs.
How long did it take you? Did you you use Sam's oil finish?
You did a great job on it. Thanks for showing it!

[Mitchell Andrus]

...some scumbag lawyer will find a way to blame you when junior grows up to be an axe murderer. prizon-bars-complex is my guess.

Outstanding work! Kudos!

[Mark Singer]

Scott, excellent ! It would look great at the Festival of the Arts next to Randy:rolleyes:

[Larry Potts]

WOW that's a nice piece of furniture. It will definetly become a heirloom and get passed down in the family.

[Garry Smith]

Wow, what a great piece.

[Theresa Keihn]

Green with Envy!!!

[Martin Shupe]

Well, I was gonna say I'm speechless, but that one has been taken. So has just about every other supportive exclamation.

Fantastic! Superb! Beautiful! Outstanding! I'm not worthy!

Incredible, simply amazing.

If I could only be half as good, I would be satified.

You're the man!

Please keep posting pics, so we can have more of your work to admire.

[Frank Guerin]

In all probability I will never build anything to that function I will keep a pic to inspire me. Beautiful work.

[Cliff Rohrabacher]

That is the SHIZZ~!! I really like it.

[Mark Valsi]

Holy Moley, batman !!!


That is amazing in design and execution. One of the best pieces I have ever seen !

[Charles Jackson III]

Very nice, work!
