Child’s Rocking Chair, Christmastime 2000, cherry seat and back with padauk inlay, birch and padauk laminated runners, amphormosa frame, shellac and wax finish.
I built and finished this rocker in about eight hours from scraps I had on hand. There was no preliminary design, I just built it to fit my eight month old friend, Lily Oliver. She likes her new chair, especially the smooth, round tenons which she mouths experimentally.
