Project Information
I made this Maloof style rocking chair for my 3-year-old daughter to give to her this Christmas. They have 2 rocking chairs at her preschool that she loves, so she asked for a rocking chair for Christmas. I have made around 10 Maloof style rocking chairs in the past for my family. However, all of those were adult size rockers. It was a bit different making one for a 3-year-old. I made it a little big for her so she can grow for a few years and still be comfortable. It is hard to see the scale of this, but it is much smaller than a normal adult rocker. I LOVE walnut crotch figure. I used it in both arm rests and the headrest. There is a bit of curl and crotch figure in the seat. It has curly maple and purple heart accents. I made a (heart-shaped) purple heart inlay in the back of the headrest.
