Beautifully done, but a question... the wood looks as if it's one piece or
is it glued up and cut out?

Hi,

The ones I made were glued up and cut out. I suppose you could use
some thicker stock and save some effort doing the laminations. There
is some advantage in making the bottom rocker from laminated pieces,
because you can orient the grain on the pieces being laminated at an
offset -- which makes the curved rockers a bit stronger.

Cheers,
Nate
