Rocking Bench

Nicely done!
How does it feel to rock in it? What issue did you use for your reference plans? And, is there anything you would do differently?

It looks very nice.

nice looking bench. The shape of the seat and back look very comfortable.

Great job, and I too would like to know where I can get the plans. Have someone that wants me to make one like this.
Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the comments. The plans came from June 1992 Wood magazine (I said it was old!). The seat didn’t turn out quite as comfortable as I hoped. I think if the back was straight, it may be more comfortable. I may put a cushion on the seat bottom and see how that works. When you first sit in it, it is initially very comfortable but after rocking for a while, my back starts hurting and I think it’s due to sinking down into that curve were the seat bottom meets the seat back and then having the back slightly bow as it goes up.

That looks really comfy…. Well done, Enjoy
