A Sam Maloof Inspired Rocking Chair; Walnut Rocker #3 by Mark A. DeCou

The landscape photos are making me homesick. Oh, and the chair is nice too.
Just kidding, the chair is gorgeous. Not kidding about the land scape, though. My wife grew up in Wichita and I grew up north and a little east of Russell in the metropolis of Osborne.

As usual Mark, brilliant work!

Beautiful Mark!
Just as good, or even better than Sam Maloof.

I love the grain figure on the back of the backrest.

A marvolous piece of art work! The back is an outstanding flow of design and grain! WOW!

-- Never board, always knotty, lots of growth rings

Maloof inspired DeCou. Stunning piece of craftsmanship. Typical Decou … wow, Hey weeds and bush is weeds and bush take that inside and get some more pictures of those laminated rockers.

Mark a beautiful chair. Nice job on the construction. I like the sculptured look on the back. The grain in the upper back looks great.

The Maloof is my favorite rocker design of all,but this is really a great interpretation.The grain is so inviting,and that shaping on the back is fantastic…its the best feature of all.

This took you awhile to build and much sanding to blend it all together.
Very nicely done Mark.

-- If I can do it, so can you.

Awesome Rocker Mark!! It seems as though you get to make all the things I dream of making but don’t have no time or money for. Now you done made me jealous.
