John has rocker repair going on. Years ago my wife bought a really old rocker and said you can  fix it can't you? My reply was  WHY?

Anyway I did it. The rockers were worn down as though it had rocked kids for a hundred years and maybe it did. I had to rebuild all joints and I cut the rockers down to an even thickness. Then laminated some oak in layers to bring them back 

That is really a neat piece you got there Ron. That was a masterful repair on the rockers!

Just curious, how'd you cut them down to an even thickness?

Great job of restoration, Ron. It's good for another hundred years of pleasant rocking.

I marked a Parallel  line with the inside of the rocker, cut with bandsaw and sanded to the line.

Very nice repair. Love seeing these old rockers back in use!

That's relaxing just looking at it- imagine how relaxing it would be sitting in it!

 

Great restore!

It actually don't sit or rock very good for a big person, I wonder if it was made for a small lady, like a nursing rocker for mother and infant.
