I designed this and built this over-sized Craftsman spindle style rocker for my wife based on photos and measurements of several chairs. It is large enough she can tuck one leg under her and still fit comfortably in the chair.
It is made from ammonia fumed quarter sawn white oak and is finished with dark shellac and paste wax. A
ll joinery is mortise and tenon and assembled with hot hide glue. Some joints are pinned through tenons as is typical of the Craftsman style.
The arched, curved crest rail and front apron were sawn to enhance the curve within the grain of the oak. The rockers were steam bent from solid stock for maximum strength.
The seat is upholstered in black leather and contains a Marshall unit in the padding for maximum comfort and support. This is a very comfortable chair and is enjoyed for several hours every day.
