Austin,

The rocking chair was delivered on Monday. Love it. Already been on lots of test drives. Garnering lots on compliments about the comfort and looks. Looking forward to years ( generations ) of use. Thanks for a quality product. It is obvious y'all care about your work. That kind of woodworking isn't an accident.

Gary,

We received our rocking chair a few weeks ago and have waited to write to you while we tried it out. We even kept the shipping box in case we decided to return it. Well, all that was foolishness. I think we knew from the first moment we saw it and sat in it that we wouldn't be sending it back. What a wonderful combination of comfort and art! We had visited many local furniture stores and searched on line, but never found anything that we liked. Every chair was either clunky looking or uncomfortable, or both. Then, by luck, we came across your chair on the web. It has turned out to be everything we had hoped for. We are especially happy with the smooth yet warm and soft finish — such a pleasure to run our fingers over. Thank you for creating such a terrific product.

Thanks again for the loving care and attention to detail that you put into creating our chair.

Gary,

The chair was delivered seamlessly, and my husband and I love it. It is beautiful and so comfortable and soothing to sit in. We took a leap of faith ordering it, and are so glad that we did. We are very grateful for your skill and artistry, and you can imagine us using it before the fireplace during our very long, cold upstate New York winters!

Thank-you.

Hi Gary,

Everyone who sits in our chairs loves them. You make a beautiful piece of furniture. My husband is a beginning woodworker and is wondering how you get such a smooth finish on your furniture. Do you use mineral oil and sand, sand, sand and do you use an electric sander or is it all by hand? He is so impressed and would love to know how he can get that kind of finish. I am sure you are very particular about your wood too. Is that part of the secret?

Dear Gary and Austin,

We've just received the rocker and the stool. They are just so beautiful and so comfortable (oh, well.. You probably hear this so often...).

Bonjour Gary,

Quelques mots en français pour vous dire combien nous sommes heureux de nous balancer dans votre rocking chair.

Il est arrivé en parfait état et il est magnifique. Tout le monde se bat pour s'y assoir et je crois qu'en final c'est un cadeau pour tout la famille!

Merci encore et bravo pour ce magnifique travail.

Hi Gary,

My chair arrived safe and sound yesterday afternoon. Unfortunately, I only had time to uncrate it and dash off to work before really getting a chance to test drive it. I will give you a more detailed critique once I get some "seat time" but on initial inspection, your chair is stunningly beautiful. The craftsmanship is superb.

Warmest Regards,
J.

Hi Gary,

The rocker and footstool were delivered last Thursday and were uncrated on Saturday. Both of them are just beautiful. I've, more or less, had to stand in line to try it out. I've heard it is very comfortable.

. . . I had tried out a few locally but they were either very uncomfortable, ugly, too low or all of the above.

Thanks again,
R.

Gary,

Yes, the chair arrived yesterday. Thanks for inquiring. My wife and I both love it. I am sitting in it right now and find it quite comfortable. The cherry wood is gorgeous and the finish is silky smooth. We really appreciate fine American craftsmanship.

Best regards,
J.

P.S. My son said, "I have never sat in a wooden chair that is this comfortable. It's a really nice chair!" I agree. A perfect chair for desk work and reading.

Yes, it came yesterday afternoon, and I've been enjoying it thoroughly ever since then! We took careful note of the packaging when it arrived, as it'll be going with us on all our various postings around the world and we want to make sure we treat it right (and make sure the movers do as well) — is there anything non-obvious we should know to be careful about when shipping it every few years?

We learned about you through a web search. I'm from Seattle, where opportunities to come across a beautiful piece of handmade furniture made out of gorgeous wood are, as it turns out, a whole lot more abundant than they are in the DC area. However, I'd always dreamed of getting one, plus I wasn't about to have an infant around with no chair to rock it in. As it happens, my husband and I both came across your information in separate bouts of searching — I think mine was something like "artisan hardwood rocking chair" or something like that. There are several beautiful options out there, but many of the others were either prohibitively expensive or we (who don't own a car) would have had to get ourselves to another state somehow to see/order/pick up a chair. Seems like we made the right choice!
Another friend who is expecting has already asked where we got it . . .

Thanks again,
M.
