Thanks for the comments. Charles Brock's plans are excellent. They are full size which makes it simple to make the templates. He does a great job of explaining and demonstrating the joinery. His videos are good but I still did a lot of research to figure out how to do some of the techniques necessary for the sculpting. I also bought Hal Taylor's book and learned a lot from it as well as videos from Andy Chidwick and others. The project stretched my skills to a whole new level and was very rewarding to do.

This beautiful project more than adequately exposes those skills that I lack; not the least of which is PATIENCE!
What a fantastic job!!

Absolutely beautiful. And I'm sure you learned a boatload of skills that will translate into future projects. I hope to be able to do something of this level someday.

Wow, it turned out fabulous! I especially like your choice of wood for the headrail. This is on my bucket list too, but it still has a few projects ahead of it. Congradulations on yours.

Outstanding, John Little. I bet Sam would smile. Terrific use of the grain in the chair back.

Great job even if it did take a year! It turned out beautifully and should last forever. Been on my bucket list as well.

Your first one turned out better than mine, I used Charles plans to build my first rocker about 5 years ago and I was hooked, Ive made 6 more since. Charles plans make it pretty easy. Beautiful job.

DocK16, I am impressed that you have made 6. I congratulate you. I have been struggling with the decision of whether or not to make another one. You have given me encouragement. Thanks.
