well, i made a rocker. im going to make some changes but i think im going to make a bundle of these this fall.

That is beautiful. If you don't mind me asking, what type of tenon maker do you use, or did you do those by hand?

Very nice. I expected some big old machine shaking the crap out of a log and could not figure out why one would want one, but that is great work.

I cannot remember the brand of tennon cutter, but I got it at grizzly. it is the cheaper model. "lumberjack" maybe. I have cut thousands of tennons with it with just a few sharpenings by hand. I have however smoked a fairly new dewalt drill doing bigger logs. I shave the ends down by hand to a manageable size to cut now.

I had to think about the log shaker for a minute but then I busted out laughing thinking about a log bouncing around. maybe to shake the bark loose is why you would want one. :D

Get your "Yokon Log Shaker" while supplies last. Why shake logs you ask? Simple! To rid logs of unwanted bark and bugs! Also rounds sharp corners and relieves tension in stubborn logs! Dont wait! Call now!

It is all in the marketing..........

That is beautiful. I think you will corner the log rocker market in your area. You may need a matching log rocker non rocking table and a log rocker rocking foot rest to go with it. Looks like it has a pretty good weight capacity also.

Good lookin' rocker Yukon. 8)

yukon cornelius · October 01, 2014, 09:37:34 PM

you need that log shaker to make that shaker furniture.....
it will be the newest trend, shaken log furniture.

Im thinking a bit taller back and more lean back.

well turd! every great idea I have seems to show up within a month or so. I think my head is bugged. or there are bugs in my head or something......

BradMarks · October 02, 2014, 03:12:56 PM

POSTON WIDEHEAD · October 02, 2014, 10:05:11 PM

Nice chair......how many in a bundle? ;D

yukon cornelius · October 02, 2014, 10:15:18 PM

I will tell you in the spring. it could just be a bundle of 2 but I hope its more like a hundred! I am fairly certain our porch swings wont sell all winter so I hope I get as many orders for these as there were swing orders this summer.

ozarkgem · October 05, 2014, 08:10:25 AM

shaken not stirred.

yukon cornelius · October 05, 2014, 08:25:55 PM

I took this rocker to a show and didn't sell it!!?? I was certainly surprised! we sold a swing and stand (no surprise there) and a new bench with a removable table I made and other big and little stuff but brought home the rocker. we have another show in October I will take it to and also list it locally. it probably didn't help we had a badly tore up asphalt to set up on and couldn't find a great place for it to rock. it wouldn't terribly hurt my feelings to keep it ;D I kinda like it!

sandhills · October 05, 2014, 09:13:15 PM

I like it too! At your next show I think I'd take 21 incher's advice, set 2 of them up behind a nice little log table, perfect for the front porch IMO. Nice work, I too really like seeing what you come up with next.

itzallbtu · October 05, 2014, 09:38:16 PM

Great work on the rocker but now that ship has sailed. The real sleeper invention was mentioned in the thread: A rocker table. Think of the possibilities--cup holders on gimbals to ensure stability, the ability to rock the table toward yourself to improve visibility or to pass control to the opponent in a game, or....or....or......

Rock on!

i have the tables by it, I think a matching one might just do it. that would be like trying to sell one barstool or one.....other thing that there should be 2 of :D i think the rocking table is awesome but i cant convince my wife. most of my tables are rockers til she makes me sand them so the sit flat.
