You may remember I posted pictures of some maple I bought to make a chair
for my daughter and my new grandson. Well, here it is with two coats of
Deft Oil finish. :-)
Not only is this chair just bee..yuu..ti..ful, but it looks very strong
and sturdy as well. It should last a couple hundred years or so.

The stripes on this chair is a real eye catcher.

Ya did good son, ya did good!

How much did this wood cost you? I can't really see the scale really well
from the photos. How is it size wise? Is it a little short or a full
size rocking chair?
It is a full size chair. The design is one from Homestead Heritage. I had to
get permission to use the design again. I built a mesquite chair like it in
a class at Homestead Heritage. It is a Paul Sellers design. The 10/4 maple
cost me $13 a board foot. I have about $900 in the chair. I ruined a couple
of pieces that caused the price to go up:-(
