What sizes do you make rocking chairs in?
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.
What is the best wood for a rocking chair?
A hardwood species like Oak, Ash, Cherry, Sycamore or Walnut. I only use English hardwoods and most of my wood comes from Cumbria.
How big is a rocking chair?
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.
Can I put my rocking chair outside?
Yes you can. But don't keep it outside and don't get it wet!
Will I need a cushion on my rocking chair?
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.
Do you do more than one design of rocking chair
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.
