Shaker-style Rocking Chair
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: Ernie Conover
Constructed from about 8 board feet of hard maple, this classic Shaker design is an amalgamation of an early brethren’s rocker No. 6 (which refers to its size) and several other chairs made at the famous Shaker production shop at Mount Lebanon in New York State. The arms and rockers are bookmatched figured maple. The front posts have a ginger-jar profile and are attached to the arms with a through tenon and mushroom cap. The seat and back are woven with Shaker tape.
