"We're really thrilled with the completed rocking-chair, particularly as it's comfortable for both of us to use."

Maloof inspired rocking chair with Lake Bassenthwaite and Skiddaw behind.
Oak rocking chair with laminated rockers and back slats. Maloof joints and carved legs and seat.
Detail showing the layers used to join the arm to the front leg. All carved and shaped in after assembly.
The back is made from slats of oak which have been laminated together to form flexible supports for your back. They bend when you lean back and are extremely comfortable.
Carved and laminated oak rocking chair
Back slats are laminated to form flexible curved slats perfectly shaped to fit in your back. They flex as you lean back to make the chair ultimately comfortable.
The seat is made from solid oak. It is coopered to give it the curve and then I have carved out the seat shape.
The back legs are tilted outwards by 6 degrees and hence the rockers converge towards the back. The rockers are about 1m long. But as my chairs are all hand made to suit the customer it can be made to any size and requirement.
The joints between the legs and the seat are a special joint designed by a famous rocking chair maker in USA called Sam Maloof.
Lovely curves!
