Another Sam Maloof Rocker

looks good, did you use templates from somewhere?

Wow, Great job.

Very nice! I notice that the arm rests and the headrest aren't quite as sculpted as I've seen on other Maloof rockers. What was your reason for doing it that way?

Great looking chair ,good job on the finishing.

Wonderful very nice work. beautiful.

great work

I did not use any templates. The arms have subtle curves to them. Its hard for the camera to pick up. People always comment that they like how the arms feel. I know Sam always did a hard line on his arms. I have never sat in or seen one of Sams chairs in person. But for me I know my arms hang off the outside edge of the arm rest and I want that to be as comfortable as possible. So I gave up a little bit of artistic appeal for comfort. The head rest is the same way. I used to do a deep dish for the head rest. the deeper the dish the farther your head has to tilt back to actually use the head rest. But who knows what I will do in the future. Thats the great thing about woodworking. You can build the same thing so many different ways.

Thanks to all for your comments.
