Every part of a Weeks Rocker® has technical and artistic specifications.
We spread the wood in the shop so we can walk around and find what we are looking for:
We study the wood and mark each part with patterns or by rough dimension according to the technical and artistic considerations. We can see the top and bottom surface of the wood defined by the part, but what is inside to be revealed by sawing and sculpting must be visualized — illuminated by experience and intuition. Many parts are marked in pairs or sets to be tracked and assembled in the same chair.
