The Pennsylvania Rocking Chair
This is an example of the Pennsylvania Rocking Chair (my name for it) I have been building since 2002. I learned how to build this chair from Hal Taylor of Fredericksburg, VA. I sold this chair at the Philadelphia Furniture and Furnishing show in 2003. You can learn how to build chairs like this too - go to haltaylor.com.
A unique design employing bent lamination backbraces and rockers, floating backbraces that bend and turn to conform to the sitters shape and a coopered headreat which lets the grain flow in only one direction througout the chair. See the entire chair construction process and more pictures at parockers.com.
