Another Maloof style Rocking Chair...Lots-o-Pics!!

[rherrell]

This is my second chair, the first one took me 150 hrs. to complete and this one ONLY 100 hrs. I'm getting faster and this one was ALOT easier!!

It's made from North Carolina Bald Cypress and has Padauk accents.
I also made a little "rocking" footstool to go with it.

I hope you enjoy the photos, I'm pretty proud of it.:biggrin:

 

[pianomanpj]

WOW!!!!! Rick, that is AMAZING!!!! Very well done!!!

 

[greggas]

Rick

Excellent craftsmanship. I really like how you used the Paduk accents...very creative.

Nice Job

 

[Paladin]

Tools used???

Did you turn this on a lathe? If so did you use the Woodchuck Pen Pro?

 

[WriteRev]

Nice job Rick! You really nailed the layout and execution. I'm currently working on my second chair using the same plans and, like you, am amazed at how much faster it is going this time. (I have a long way still to go on #2, though!)

Wow..that's intense!

 

[rherrell]

THANKS guys!

Did you turn this on a lathe? If so did you use the Woodchuck Pen Pro?

No lathes were harmed in the making of this chair!:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Just your standard woodworking tools and ALOT of grinding and sanding.

Rick that is a beautiful piece of hand made furniture, worthy of nearly any home.
Very nice work for 100 hours, I love the book matched seat, Outstanding craftsmanship.

 

[TheRealSmith]

Wow! a work of art for sure. You are very talented and artistic. I have never seen such a nice rocker ever

 

[boxerman]

Wow nice rocking chair. That's some talent and craftsman there.

 

[el_d]

Very impressive Rick you did a great job on that.

Very inspiring.

 

[BRobbins629]

Nice seat Rick!!

 

[OKLAHOMAN]

That's not a chair that's a work of art. Let's see, 100 hours at $30 and hour plus materials about $3,500 to $4,000 sounds right and worth every penny of it.

 

[Paladin]

Joking....

Rick,

I joked about the lathe and Woodchuck...but I gotta say...that is a beautiful piece of work that you should be real proud of.

 

[paintspill]

[Woodlvr]

You have good reason to be proud Rick, that is beautiful work. Way to go. I love the way you accented them, fantastic. Great job. Thanks for showing us. I showed my wife and she love the rocking chair and wants one. I do not think that I have that much patience.

 

[thewishman]

Love the chair, LOVE the wood grain! Beautiful. NCGJ!

 

[robutacion]

Geezzzz mate, that was a lot of wood shaping, by hand...! I just can see how you looked like after a session of sanding, white from tip to toe, huh...???:biggrin:

Yes, I know, I can see that you've got a "proper" work shop with all the air vents and filters going (very nice work-shop BTW...!:wink

Well, the craftsmanship and patience is evident, congrats mate, you've done an outstanding job...!:wink:

Cheers
George

[Woodlvr]

Rick, I was just admiring your work again and was trying to read the little plaque and the date looks like July 2012? Are you that stressed out or is that the delivery date?:wink: Sam would be very proud of your work that is some beautiful craftmanship. Congrats.

 

[rherrell]

It says 2011:biggrin::biggrin: I have one of those woodburning tools with my name on it but it just seemed a little cheap for my chairs. I got it made at the local trophy shop for $15 and thought it added a touch of class.
