(You can see in the background one of the unfortunate results of having too many cats.)
Technical data: White oak with walnut inlay; laminated rockers and back pieces. The basic dimensions are from a Limbert rocker, but I modified it considerably. The finish is water-based aniline dye, sealed with shellac, then a dark brown glaze, then Rockler gel varnish (wonderful stuff for all those spindles). The damn thing has 92 mortise and tenon joints. You can't really see it in the photos; they seem to be a little out of focus (hides all the defects, don'cha know? ) , but all the structural joints are pinned. It's very comfortable.
