Great rocker.

I agree the book and video from Hal are comprehensive.

Just beautiful Tim. I have made a couple of somewhat Maloof looking chairs ( if you look from 20 feet away, ha ha), but cannot master the joint as you have. Congratulations.

Beautiful work on this Tim and a fantastic result too.

Nicely Done. I appreciate your making some personal changes; as did I during my 2nd HT-build. Hal’s personal and professional support provides an excellent ‘yes-I-can’ famework. I’m not that talented, and Hal’s support made the difference.

For my 2nd build, I made everything, save the seat and headrest, a bit more robust, a bit less rounded and elegant. The seat remained as spec’d, and I thinned the Headrest to 1" from 1.5".

From your other posted work, I see the grandfather clock – I may come knocking regarding advice on this build. I have an Amish-built tall-case, that after 20 years, I still admire. I’ve been looking for a ‘modern’ design, and haven’t yet come across one that really speaks to me.

Anyway, I wanted to compliment you on the Rocker – again, nicely done.

Very very nice! Not sure I would have the patience and talent to pull something like this off. Well done!

That’s a wonderful rocker it has all of the wonderful lines and joinery that Sam would love.

A very complicated build and a great outcome. 
This chair is on many a bucket list. Now what’s next! I’m sure with your skills you can match it. 😊

I say bravo, well done.  The sculpting is wonderfully done. A lot of hours building and sanding for sure.
