it must be the season. back to back orders for these so people must be thinking about sitting on the porch in these. here is the first slab style I have made. I have a couple in my living room now until delivery. I don't mind ;D

Very nice! Are the rockers naturally curved or did you bend or cut?

the rockers are cut. I shape them by eye with a electric hand held planer. I have done several of these this way. I recently brought home a 6 inch grizzly jointer and I think I will work on a jig for them.

Larry, those rockers look great and rock nicely. I don't have pictures but I sat in that very rocker.

Very nice. Hope the jointer jig works!

Great idea. ;D

Mom's grandfather made one, he used tree bark on the seat and back. I think it's now sitting in my brother's back yard. I remember it when it sat on my uncle's camp porch on the hill behind the house in the 70's overlooking the river valley.

I'd like to see pictures of the jointer jig when you make it. Sounds interesting.
