CHERRY AND MAPLE ROCKER

 

I've made several examples of this deeply carved Cherry Rocker. It's a lot of work, and I could spend a month building one, much of that time shaping with files, rasps and hand planes, and sanding, sanding and sanding.

 A thick plank of Cherry wood is hand carved into a seat. Birdseye Maple back slats curve to follow the arch of the back. The joints are carved to flow the pieces into a unified whole.

This rocker is inspired by the work of Sam Maloof, whose rocker is an icon of hand-crafted furniture.
