Hi Folks,

Frank Sinatra's rocking chair:

Interesting how the back legs appear to be coming up through the front legs.
Anybody seen this design before?

Thanks and good health, Weogo

Here are two of them offered on 1stdibs.com. https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/se.../id-f_3858562/ https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/se...id-f_26397742/

And here's another. https://epochfurnishings.com/product...v=7516fd43adaa There you get the designer's name and the manufacturer. That might help in searching for more detailed pics about that joinery.

I’m sure the back legs really do come through the front legs. I saw a tapered reamer with a side cutter many years ago to make such a hole after drilling the base hole. Most of the other holes will have some taper also.

Spokes with an end cut and small wedge to spread the end as it’s driven home come to mind.
