Inspiration 2.0 Walnut and Zebrawood rocking chair
This sculpted rocking chair is built from 2” Canadian Black Walnut accented with Ebony plugs. This is a medium version ( 5′ 7” – 5′ 11” ). This chair has 2 unique features that make it stand out even next to one of our other rocking chairs.
First the leg/headrest design borrows more form the Maloof design with legs extending like horns and with a more stylized bottom curve to the headrest but still using a coopered headrest to keep the grain lines matched to the seat and arms.
Second we used a beautiful piece of Zebra wood, sliced it into 2.29mm thick grain matched pieces and used it as the rear lamination to add a very unique contrast to the Walnut.
Features
– form fitting flexible back braces
– coopered headrest
– exposed Maloof joinery
– hand carved seat, arms, and joints
– Beautiful Zebra wood highlighted back braces

This is absolutely beautiful. The curved lines are aesthetically right on point. I must admit,I have never built a chair and can't imagine the the time and expertise involved.
