ROCKING CHAIR BENEFITS
There are many benefits to rocking in a rocking chair. Be it to relax the lower back after a long day, to calm a crying infant or to nurse a baby. Rocking is a favorite pastime. So why not buy a rocking chair that is not only comfortable but an artistic and an heirloom piece as well.

Rocking chair made from Cherry Burl
This finely
handcrafted
Cherry Burl rocker was
incredible. Cherry burl is used on the carved seat, arms and headrest. Maple is incorporated on the lumbar support (which we perfected for even greater comfort) and inlayed in the runner as well as for the plugs. We also incorporated Cherry on the rest of the rocker. This one of a kind rocker is a true work of art and sure to stand out in any setting. Ask about our Walnut and Redwood Burl Rockers and the Black Limba rocker.
Burl and Exotic Wood Rockers
We can make all our rocker designs out of burl and exotic woods. Each one is a true one of a kind, since the wood varies in color and detail so greatly. A rocker can have just hints of burl or exotic woods in it or consist mostly of those woods. If you wish to see more photos that are not on this site, please notifiy us and we will be happy to email you more detailed shots and pictures of other pieces that are not on here.
Custom Made Rocker made from Black Walnut w/African Purple Heart.
Wrapped Joint technique
This rocker not only features the gorgeous purple heart on the lumbar support, but also inlayed in the runners and around the joints. See the close ups below. This technique of inlaying a contrasting wood around the joints is quite difficult and time consuming. But as you can see is spectacular and really adds to the uniqueness of this heirloom rocker.
ROCKING CHAIR made from Black Walnut with Curly Cherry
Wrapped Joint Technique
This gorgeous rocker was a commission from a fellow woodworker friend. We changed the design some, as can be seen from the front shot, to make the rocker roomier at the leg area. The Old Growth Black Walnut came from the Ruidoso NM area and had incredible figure with some burling in it. The Curly Cherry was used for the spindles, inlayed into the runners and wrapped around the joints. It was a beautiful contrast with the dark of the walnut and turned out to be one of the prettiest rockers we have made. The joint wrapping technique is a time consuming process where a contrasting wood is used in the joint area and then shaped to blend together. It is a beautiful way to show off the unique joinery.
Stephanie's Bent Wood Rocker
Made from Black Walnut and Mesquite this rocker is our newest design, featuring bentwood lamination. The walnut legs were bent in a form for a week each. The mesquite arms were bent in a separate form ontop of the legs. The back lumbar supports were bentwood laminations formed to fit the curve of your back and mold to your body, with a slight flexing to them. The mesquite carved seat was made to float over the back of the legs and has a very strong joint where it meats the legs. The headrest was also made from mesquite. The combination of the walnut and mesquite was a beautiful blend. This rocker is like nothing out there in artistic beauty and comfort. This style can be made out of most woods.
