Hi Craftisians,
I call this my Franken-Rocker. That's because it is a combination of several different plans merged together. I originally wanted to build a version of the Gamble House Living Room rocker. But once I started investigating, I knew it was too complicated for my first attempt at a chair project of any sort. So, I simplified, and built what I was comfortable with. The result is a strong Southwestern flavor with a dash of Craftsman and G&G. The wife and I are OK with the results and the rocker looks nice in our Master Bedroom with the other 8 pieces of Mesquite furniture that we've completed...
Details - Mesquite with Black Walnut pegs and splines. Mortise and loose tenon joinery. Bent lamination rockers. The seat rails have a gentle 3 degree angle from front to back. The wifey picked out the fabric and we did the upholstery work ourselves. The finish is nice and simple - 2 brush coats of Danish Oil (natural) and 2 sprayed coats of Shellac (blonde/clear). The seat width in the front is 20 inches and the top of the back legs measures 40 inches.
Happy to answer any question. Comments are always welcome. Thanks...
