The size of a rocking chair depends on how tall you are. I ask for a number of simple measurements from you which gives me all I need to make the chair so that it is comfortable for you. I can (and have) made chairs for people less than 5' tall and people more than 6' tall. Also weight is not a problem as they are very strong.

For a rocking chair, you’ll usually want a strong hardwood such as oak or ash. They’re durable, look beautiful when finished, and suit a chair that’s made to last. If you’ve got a particular look in mind, I can help you choose the right timber.

The height of the back of the chair is about 1m. The rockers are about 1m long and the width of a chair for a 5'4" person is about 60cm. Large chairs are wider and taller. If you need a large chair, I ask about your door widths as narrow doors and large rocking chairs might be a problem for delivery.

Yes you can. But don't keep it outside and don't get it wet!

No. The scultured seat is designed so that you don't need a cushion. I have never had a customer who has felt a cushion is needed.

I base all my chairs around one design which I adjust for size. The design works and is very comfortable, so why change it? However, I can do some changes to the design to customise it for you. Like using a "special" wood for the back braces.

A maloof joint is a special joint used in rocking chairs for joining the legs to the seat. It was developed by iconic mid-century craftsman Sam Maloof. And then further developed by Hal Taylor who spent most of his life building rocking chairs! It is made almost entirely using a router with jigs. It is a very strong joint which is sometimes strengthened even further with a screw through it.
