We have chairs of other fine woods.



Texas Mesquite

The trees are short and crooked, most of the wood is full of defects. Pieces sound enough to make chair parts are rare. The color, depth, and figure are singular, beyond distinctive. Mesquite doesn't arrive as lumber, more as odds and ends. The piece Autumn and Will are unloading in the photo below is unusually large and clear on the face shown. The defects on the other side would break your heart.

Because of the wild grain and defects, it is time-consuming, mind-boggling, and skill-intensive to select and produce rocking chair parts to meet our specifications for figure and strength--verifying custom and handcrafted.

After the sale of the rocker we have in stock, we will not stock mesquite rockers.  We may build some for special editions or we may take special orders.

Words from Happy Rocker Patrons

March 23, 2023

Hi Gary and Team,

Yes! We are so happy that we chose the mesquite rocker. It’s just beautiful all around.

J. loves the rocker and has been napping in it! He’s an avid cyclist and often rests after a long ride.
…and reads a lot while sitting it as well. :))

Have a great day and thanks again! 😊

All the Best,
S.
