Child’s Rocking Chair

December 15, 2000 By Mike Lyon

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.
