A Couple Maloof Rockers

Beautiful creations Zach, you do excellent work.

As always thank ya Oldtool!

and pottz they’re really not as challenging as everyone makes them sound. on the last rocker I built (the curly cherry one) I probably have 3 big days in it. After your first one they turn into more time management than anything (it also doesn’t hurt that I have some snazzy tools). Best of luck!

Great job! One of these is on my bucket list (as soon as the walnut trees are big enough to harvest). But I will definitely not be leaving mine in the middle of the road – LOL. (Love to see that flat Kansas landscape – reminds me of visiting my grandmother as a child).

Thanks for posting and Happy New Year!

If I ever make anything that looks that good ,I’m going to quit because I know I’d never be able to do it again.
Keep up the good work.

Absolutely magnificent rockers! Both wood choices are beautiful but the lacewood is very unique. You are a “hand” my friend. “3 days”: in my dreams maybe!

beautiful chairs and super looking pictures as well.

Very nice looking chairs, and the setting is cool. Now I know why they are called the great plains.

Very nice work, beautiful choice of wood. Those chairs were design to please, and they just do that. Is it difficult to work with lacewood ? I should try it sometimes. Just between you and me I name my chairs too. Once more bravo.

Thanks everyone! And Andrek lacewood is easy to work with. the quarter sawn version of it looks like the nastiest oak ever but the regular sawn is very nice. So on making the bent laminates I had to quarter saw enough to make all the fronts of the spindles and the tops of the rockers.

Congratulations on this rocker. It’s absolutely beautiful.
