Thank you Gary. The rocker is great. I’m having a hard time sharing it with my family. Proud to be a Gary Weeks Rocker owner.

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,

Gary, The rocker has been successfully delivered and is used daily. Our little one arrived 04/03 so it was at the house when we got home from the hospital! T. appreciates the rocker very much! He enjoys his late night bottles and listening to John Coltrane while rocking!!!Someday I hope to get one of your mesquite rockers as well! Thx again Gary and Crew!

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

Hi Gary,
Happy Valentines Day! The due date is creeping up on us quickly now!
...Currently, the porch rocker here is the only truly comfortable seat at 37 weeks. As always, thank you for bringing such beautiful and comfortable furniture into our lives.

Just received and unboxed the rocking chair - it is beautiful! Every time we open one of your rockers, I am again amazed at the constant quality!

Hi Gary and all,
Good timing—today is actually the due date! But he hasn’t come yet. Thank you for checking in, that’s very kind of you.
The curly cherry rocking chair is the most beautiful rocking chair I’ve ever seen. We absolutely love looking at it every single day and it’s so comfortable to sit in. We can’t wait to rock our baby in it when he arrives.
Thanks again,

Gary,
We are so glad to hear from you.
J. delivered their first baby on the 19th of December. Your Weeks rockers are the most beautiful and comfortable rockers anywhere! One of the best touches we have had is to meet the gal who actually made the rocking chair and delivered the chair! Autumn delivered the chair on the way to her Thanksgiving holiday with family. I was surprised at how young she is and how accomplished she is in woodworking. She delivered a top quality rocker...
You have grown the business so much, I practically don't recognize you. Ken and I bought our rocker several years earlier when your website was a little older and a lot fuzzier in appearance. The website is so professional compared to back then. I first found you by searching the web for rocking chairs that fit both short and tall people. Our family has people from 5 feet to 6'3”...
I love the Weeks rocking chair and frequently have people sit in it just for the experience, because it is such a lovely experience. The balance of the rocker makes for a soothing rock instead of a store bought clunky rock that requires more force to keep it going and "jumps" halfway through the rock because it isn't balanced properly. (think the white porch rockers that are sold everywhere or the more expensive rockers in a furniture store--there is simply no comparison)
Again, your craftsmanship is superb!
Merry Christmas to your family and family of Gary Weeks & Company!
Blessings,C.Fountain Inn, South Carolina
