Gary,
Every morning I sit in my rocker and rock gently as I start my day with a cup of coffee. It is so very beautiful, and everyone who comes in our home winds up sitting there and going into a kind of trance.
I'm sorry I haven't written sooner to thank you for creating it for our home, but I wanted to get some photographs taken of it to show you the space it occupies in our lives.
I love not only how it looks, how it feels to sit in it and lean my head back, but also the touch of it under my palms. The wood is silky and luscious to the touch and the motion takes me back to a very old place I don't even consciously remember.
It is my favorite piece of furniture in the whole house; thank you for sharing your art with us. I can tell it was made with love.
Peace,

Hi Gary
My husband bought a beautiful mesquite rocker from you — I'll have to look on the bottom to remember when. We have enjoyed it in our living room and it is indeed comfortable as well as a thing of beauty. We still marvel at the mesquite, very precious.
Sincerely,

Dear Gary,
D. has had his 50th birthday rocking chair for almost a year now and I can tell you that if he is home and sitting down, it is likely that he is sitting in his rocker. He is so pleased to have it. The chair sits in our living room, near the wood stove, in front of the windows looking over our back yard. The chair is comfortable enough that he can sit for hours working (he's a computer scientist and sometimes works at home) and it is roomy enough that he and his laptop fit nicely. Thank you so much for working with me to give him something that he really enjoys and cherishes.
Best,
S.
P.S. He was delighted with the surreptitious carved lizard.Carmel Valley, California

Gary: I've been meaning to send a note. Yes, it's here and arrived in perfect condition! I've rocked in it, napped in it and even played my ukelele in it. Comfortable and beautiful!! I'm looking forward to many years of enjoyment. Thanks for your craftsmanship!

Hi Gary,
The chair is finally here — arriving only minutes before my wife got home from work! She is very surprised, and we are both very happy with the chair. It's the perfect combination of comfort and beauty. We're looking forward to spending a lot of wide-awake nights, rocking our (pending in June) baby to sleep!
Thanks for your careful attention and help through the ordering and shipping process.
Happy holidays to your and your family!
Best regards,
R. and K.Point of Rocks, Maryland

Gary:
My wife and I received our chair and foot stool yesterday and it is far better than what we expected, one of the most comfortable chairs we have ever sat in. I wanted to thank you for all of your assistance and making such a beautiful piece of furniture. We are looking forward to years and years of enjoyment.
Happy holidays.

Gary,
Every time I walk into the living room and see the new rocking chair, I smile. It's just so beautiful and elegant. And the walnut was well worth waiting for — it looks so deep and rich. Everyone who has seen it admired your extraordinary workmanship. It's also the most comfortable rocking chair I've ever sat in!
My husband hasn't seen his birthday present "in person" yet, but he's sussed out your web site and he thinks the rocker is simply gorgeous! I know he'll be as thrilled as I was when he does see it. I'll let you know.
I suppose it does take a leap of faith to order furniture on line from persons unknown, but clearly my trust was well placed. And you can be sure that when anyone admires our new rocking chair, I will tell him exactly where it comes from!
Please feel free to share my comments with those who work with you and anyone thinking about ordering your beautiful furniture. I expect they'd be as happy as I am with the purchase.
Thank you again and again.

G'day Gary.
You beat me to an email.
I love my new rocking chair — thank you! It's just beautiful and very comfortable. What excellent workmanship. You should be proud.
Thank you again and I hope our paths cross soon.
Happy holidays to you and your family and all the best for the new year.
Cheers.

Gary,
R. is going to send you a picture of the chair in our home — she's in love with it.
I wanted to say something about the shipping. The shipping company, Saia?, was not very professional: they didn't come the day they said they would and then came the next day, in spite of the fact that I had called them and told them we wouldn't be home. Luckily, they came quite late in the day, so we were home, but the driver hadn't used any of the usual mapping resources to find out where our house is and didn't call us for directions until he was on the way. He was driving a huge 18-wheeler and was afraid to come into our lake community and deliver to the house. Luckily, again, a friend with a truck was available to take it from the truck to our house.
[ Unknown to us, our dependable carrier, DBSchenker, handed the chair off to a third party for this rural shipment. We regret the inconvenience. —GW ]
That said, the chair arrived in perfect condition, thanks to your impeccable packing, and it is beautiful and beautifully comfortable.
R. will rave on her own.
