I have had these two jobs on my board for a while and just seem to keep pushing them back. Saturday morning I got up early and headed to the shop to get some of these small jobs finished and out.

I had a customer bring me a rocker that had broken on his old family rocker and ask if I could make a new one to match. He is going to stain to match the rocker and install so I just need to get it cut, smoothed and the mounting holes cut right for him.

Here is the old one and the new one clamped to it.

 

I also had this old rocking chair that is over 100 years old to make new rockers for. The old ones and worn flat and down to the point the post were about to come through the bottom. So I made two new ones for this rocker. The picture was before I drilled the holes and it seems I forgot to take one after I set it in them so I will post another picture tonight.

All of the rockers were made of White oak. I made these for the old rocker a little thicker and it should rock for a long time now.

 

You Rock!

Very nice John, what type of glue are you using for this? Or epoxy?

TB III John.

Nice work.
