ROCKER COLOR OF WOOD

kidding aside nice work on the chair,but yeah a little many types of wood for my taste.

couldn’t stand it – too nice to not look at it upright

I don’t think too many colors – they appear to be symetrical (to some degree)

Interesting combination of woods. Workmanship is great.

I think it’s beautiful! Really like the contrast. Would like to see some contrast on the headrest. Have been thinking about making a rocker, lots of new ideas after seeing this. Very nice work.

Rather classy I think. Agree with Dick, the wood choice are very symmetric. If you were to sell some people would think it’s too loud others like me would grab it cause it’s unique. Nice work.

I like that you made it with scraps and still paid attention to get symmetry in the patterns.

Scraps never looked so good, well done.

Are there plans online somewhere that show how to build this kind of rocker? I’d love to make my own.

Very nice work!

Thanks guys for input. This whole project was based on scrape shorts. I didn’t want to get in to any new wood usage. I figured burn was always the means of disposal if did not work out. Also thought was to much color contrast. Basic Plan was from a Hal Taylor site. But I changed whole seat above plan base. Want to try a less masculine look thanks again.

Great use of scraps.

-- Tyvekboy -- Marietta, GA ………….. one can never be too organized

I think it’s beautiful. It would look great in a church nursery for rokkin the babies.

-- I intended to be a woodworker, but turned into a tool and lumber collector.

bigpops0259 I like this chair. The eclectic use of wood may not be for everyone but you’ll never please everyone. There is definitely symmetry in the wood throughout the chair as a whole. I can appreciate the work involved in doing a rocker like this and you probably doubled the workload with all the lamination, but I would guess that you enjoyed the process, or you wouldn’t tackle a project this size and as a bonus you have less scrap pieces in your shop.

Best use of scraps I’ve ever seen…Beautiful!!!
