This rocker was Michael’s first attempt at building a rocking chair and was inspired by David Haig’s signature rocker. The build presented many challenges, from the joinery of a bent-laminated piece at a compound angle into a curved seat edge, to finding the lumbar support that was just right. His goal was to come up with a chair that he could sit in comfortably for an extended time. After four years, hundreds of sketches, multiple jigs, lots of trial and error, and great input from others, this is the chair he built.
