Hi Gary

The rocker arrived in great shape, it’s absolutely perfect. The craftsmanship is outstanding. I’m so glad that I selected the American Walnut but I’m sure in any wood it would have been beautiful. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

Hi, Gary and all,

My wife totally and completely LOVES your rocker! It's incredibly beautiful and comfortable to sit in. She's maybe happier than expected because the real thing is so well crafted and attractive in person. You all do wonderful work in making rockers that are works of art and very functional. Our small poodle loves it, too. Every time she or I sit in the Weeks Rocker, he comes running to sit on our lap, and rock away.

Thank you!!!
best,
J.

I received the rocking chair and barstools and all I can say is WOW! Just amazing workmanship--so much so that the table I had intended to use for the barstools just isn't cutting it! Would you be able to make a 48' Johnson Pedestal Table w/o Apron in walnut, counter height (36")? I'd be much obliged! Gratefully,L...

I can't express how grateful I am for the true craftsmanship, excellent customer service and the sense of human connection I have as a result of this purchase. It is so rare these days. What a gift.

Gary, Austin & Autumn,We received our chair the day after Christmas in its special packaging ;-). Got it unboxed and in the house and went for the big test...the chair molds perfectly to my junky spine! And is drop dead gorgeous. ...I've spent about 15 hours in it so far and it is just amazing how it supports me perfectly. With L2 to S1 disc ruptures, this was a large leap of faith, but the extraordinary detail you provide on your website about your product and your methods was instrumental in my decision to purchase.
The look, the amazing quality in detail in the construction... has my wife asking when can we get another one! We both loved the 'included' Christmas Tree painting...I'm not sure I can put it in the recycle bin!
Thanks a Million!T. & K.

Dear Gary,
…It was so wonderful seeing your shop…
Every piece you lovingly create has touched the earth in a profound way. The wood has been caressed by the wind, washed with the rain, traveled on by insects, supported nests, sung to by birds and crickets and smiled on by God. It traveled a lifetime to be enjoyed by you to become a part of countless memories in people’s homes. Parents rocking their newborns, seniors reminiscing their life while rocking and families gathered together at mealtime sharing life.
WOW! I truly love what you do!God bless you, your family and your business.

Dear “All who make this possible”
We just received our second shipment of dining room chairs, the first shipment being about a year ago. They are wonderful, along with the maple rocker we purchased last year.
My thanks and appreciation are directed at all involved in making such consistently beautiful creations. I speak as a retired farmer who knows the challenges of running a business as well as a beginning woodworker who know the challenges making something that I a proud to have in my house that has no screws holding it together!
Here is a list of my thanks, please let all the ones who had a part in the process know of my love for the excellence of their work.
Design beauty, flowing lines strength functionality
Wood storage all the difficulty involved
Wood selection and cutting for best appearance
The Shop, machines buildings maintained, and safety dust control
Consistency in parts matching
Skills at band saw, courage at table saw
Joinery amazing shoulder and dowel work
Gluing never a crack
Finish sanding and coats of finish, spotless
Care in handling, a ding at the end ruins a lot of work, as I know!
Culture of excellence requires skilled management and dedicated employees
Family continuity a tribute to family dynamics
Packaging
Great office correspondence
I feel love in your work.
I know I have missed someone, I apologize for that.
How we do what we do really does matter.

Yours,
L. B.

Greetings to all…

I wanted to say thank you to everyone for the chair so carefully made for M. It arrived this morning and it was met with smiling faces and excitement. They loved the plague on the bottom with the family history and were so excited to see the amazing quality of the workmanship…plus…they love the mahogany.
...
As with each of the prior two rockers…absolutely perfect and again many thanks for the artisans hands and care.

All the best
B.
