Dear Gary,
The chairs have arrived in fine condition and look beautiful. It seems that once they left Texas, there was no holding them back. (Is that a parable of some sort?)
The pads you attached are just the ones I've used for other pieces on this floor, and they will be easy to replace when the time comes.
So, a happy ending — at least of chapter one. These chairs are built for a long history, and this is just the start.
Thanks for your work, trust, and care,

Gary,
Have been travelling this week and just got home to find my 8 months pregnant wife rocking happily in her new chair. She loves it and I have to say its a beautiful piece of work by you. My wifes friend came around and commented "do you have a cushion for it" my wife told her it was so soft that you didn't need one and as soon as her friend sat it the chair she got the message.
Have to say the workmanship is outstanding and the chair has a nice modern feel about the look.
Both our mothers are coming to stay after the baby arrives so there may be some fighting over who gets the chair!
Thanks again.

Finally . . . IT’S HERE!!!
D. loves it! It is even more beautiful than expected, and so, so, so smooth! It smells so good.
Everything is perfect, the chair and stool make a perfect match, and I think I will have to fight to sit on it!
Thank you so very much for your help and your support throughout the shipping process, it was not that bad after all . . .
I’ll send you pictures soon,

Gary –
I've been meaning to write to you about the surprise delivery. The note to call before delivery got covered by a routing sticker, so they just showed up. Fortunately, I was home and so have been enjoying my gorgeous and incredibly comfortable new rocker earlier than expected. The shipping process didn't even mark the cardboard, and the chair arrived in perfect condition.
The one downside is that I have significant competition for the seat, from any human who comes near it, but also from my little female cat who insists it's the perfect size and shape for her. She will, at least, let me sit between her and the chair.
I don't live in a mansion here, but rather in a tiny place that's almost all built by hand, with trim, decking and shelving made from site-milled cedar and fir. The wonderful description of your design and construction process on your web site helped me understand that your chair would be a perfect fit in my new mini house. Thank you so much for the marvelous rocker and for the seamless ordering and delivery process.

Hi Gary,
As promised, here is a picture of the set in its new home. D. and I think it is the most beautiful spot on earth, so to find furniture that matches that beauty . . . Well, we are just so very pleased with it. It is just lovely; even lovelier than the picture. We hope to enjoy it with our family for many years to come. Thanks so much for your care in creating such amazing pieces.
Best regards,

Dear Gary,
The delivery truck driver asked me what was so special about these chairs — he delivers so many (I'm assuming he meant in the Washington, DC area where I live). So I told him all about them before I'd even unpacked mine.
I want you to know my rocker is everything I told him it was and more. I've never cried over a piece of furniture before, but I did over this. (Heck, truth be known, I cried over the website.) Of course it has to do with the beauty and comfort of the chair. But it's also the fact that it was crafted in West Texas, which is very special to me . . .
Next time I get to West Texas, I hope to come meet you and see your showroom. Thanks more than I can say.

Gary,
Thank you so much for the refinishing offer. I don't think the chair would fit in my car or I would take you up on it.
I have to tell you that chair is the most beautiful work of art I have ever purchased. The moment I saw it, I knew it would be coming home with me. You are so incredibly talented. I paid $1,000 for it at Whit Hanks. I remember because it was my Christmas bonus check from work. I knew if I did not buy it, I would regret it.
Thank you so much for the years of enjoyment and the wonderful memories of rocking my baby girls over the years
