Soft Curly Maple Maloof inspired rocker

Nice job! It is easy to look at a project like this and say to myself “Oh, another Maloof rocker”, but each one represents a significant accomplishment. This is a very challenging project and you did great!

This is a project I hope to get to do some day…

Excellent Work. I made a traditional rocker, and a Maloof is on my list. I can really appreciate the amount of time and patience that goes into a project like that.

This is Gorgeous! You sure have some wonderful Chair Builds for projects. Nicely Done.

Thanks everyone for the comments. Now I just need to learn how to build something else. Haha

What an accomplishment! You’re extraordinary.

I love it and I’ll bet the pics don’t do it justice!

Looks great. I like the sharpness that you added to the traditional maloof rocker. The original is great, but yours is just as good in a different way.

I am with you when it comes to buying lumber in Texas. I live in Fort Worth and lumber just ain’t cheap here. It is sort of frustrating, because wood cost often keeps me from making projects.

Thank you. I have to give credit for most of the design alterations to Bill Kappel. It certainly is more expensive here. I live in Lubbock and we really don’t even have may trees here. Here is a link to the website I got the soft maple from. The owner was very nice and the prices are very reasonable. I got this wood shipped from Ohio to Lubbock for cheaper than I would have gotten it here. http://crlumber.com/

Looks very well made

-- Norman - I never never make a mistake, I just change the design.

This certainly is a beautiful rocker and so well done.
