June 5, 201610 yr comment_66723 Well, latest of my son Craig is that, depending on how the treatments go, he MAY get to go home Sunday, or Monday.... As for this rocker,.....redid the seat slats... Now have 7 slats. Will need to sand a few down to level the seating areas. That board across the back is a Lumbar Support. It will help me aching back. Armrests have been motirsed to fit the post's tenon... It will get a wedge after awhile. On the underside of the armrest, I used a large Forstner bit to help settle the rest down better ( yep, cut the tenon about 1/8" too short) There is also a mortise into the back post.. I can drill through the post, add a long screw, and plug the hole in the back of the post...... This will need a LOT of sanding before I can start to add the finish.. Need to sand away the flat spots on the rockers, too......first things first, need to get Craig back home.. Report

June 11, 201610 yr comment_66812 First Prayers for Craig. Hope you get him home soon. Now the chair is awesome. It has been fun to watch you transform it into a beautiful rocker that will give hours of rocking the time away. I love to sit in the rocker and just forget everything for a while. Report
