After returning to woodworking about 7 years ago after woodshop in
high school in the 70's, and lurking in rec.woodworking for a few
years, here's a picture of 2 rocking chairs I've made.
The country rocker in white oak about I made about 5 years ago, and
the Maloof style in purpleheart I just finished.

Thank you. Although the maker is always the worst critic - I see that
I've learned to match wood better. The country rocker is all white
oak, but the seat was made from two different boards, and when the
tung oil went on, they colored different. I was not happy about that,
but life is a learning curve!

Very nice, I'll take 100 of the purple heart. I trade you some screws or
something. ;~)
