This is the 3rd in a child's rocker I have built. On this one I tried bent lamination's on the backrest. It needs a sanding and another coat of lacquer. Getting bubbles on some pieces on the seat slats .

Beautiful job, Bryan. :thumb: I had a rocking chair that was a similar design when I was a little kid. (Not walnut, though.) I put a lot of miles on that thing.

WOW, That's a great looking chair. How old is the lucky kid?
I'm going to keep this one. I have most parts made for a 4 th chair. #4 will need a hard poly finish. Grand kids can be rough on furniture . I have a granddaughter that's 6 and she loves playing with her dolls and tea time, etc. I think she should have a chair to rock her dollies to sleep.

All I can say is WOW. I can only hope to aspire to your standard of woodworking. At present I am still very much a novice. Boy those chairs are almost too good to sit on. I hope the kids keep them a lifetime. What a great present.
