Special Edition Rocking Chairs - Extraordinary Woods, Handmade in Texas

From time to time, we find extraordinary wood and make a rocking chair of it. Woods that fall outside of our standard cherry, walnut, maple, and sapele offerings. Each special edition uses the same ergonomic form as the Weeks Rocker®, sculpted to support the natural curvature of the spine and guaranteed to be the most comfortable rocking chair you have experienced. 

These chairs are one of a kind.


Ebonized Ash Special Edition Rocker

Ebonized Ash Rocker

Ash trees grow straight and true.  The straight grain is easy to match into coherent compositions of figure in the parts and the whole.   The wood is hard, tough, and strong; it has very prominent figure with open pores.  The open pores are emphasized by the black stain.  Light reflecting from the pores gives a subtle, patterned luster to the surface--very pleasing to the eye.  Have a look at the photo of the seat in the carousel above (click the arrow).  Maybe zoom in a bit.


We have chairs of other fine woods.
