Gary,
Its all here safe and sound. It looks like it has been there forever. The table top is remarkable. The time taken to lay out the boards in a way that balances the figures is obvious, and very much appreciated. I looked at all of the seats, they are all very nicely matched too. I'll send some pictures with comments in a few days. I’m amazed at the correspondence between the figures on the seats and human sitting anatomy.
The fellows who delivered the furniture did a really great job getting it in. They did finally take off the top but only after sizing up the door situation themselves. It was a 1/2 inch socket and well as you would expect, that was the only one missing from my set. A quick trip to the hardware store solved that.
Thanks so much
Merry Christmas to you and yours

Dear Gary,
I first saw your furniture advertisement in the New Yorker magazine in 1998. I marvelled then at the beauty of your designs especially your dining room chairs and tables. And, I could not believe the claim of a wood chair being comfortable for long periods of conversation or extended reading. Ten years of wishing for a beautiful dining room table and chairs has now become a reality. My 6 maple Wilson dining room chairs and Paschall table are not only exquisitely crafted but extraordinarily comfortable for dining, conversation, and reading — a reader's favorite chair.

Gary,
Today is June 4, 7:36 A.M. The chairs and stools did arrive yesterday after several calls and late delivery. I must say I am not impressed with the delivery folks, but the chairs and stools are beautiful and in perfect shape as best I can determine. You and your team do a wonderful job on these chairs and I am sure I will enjoy them much. Thanks!

The Gary Weeks Rocker: Mesquite
Glass is yet to compare to it’s smoothness.
Exquisite elegance that can go from a log cabin to the White House, from "Maw’s" porch to the Smithsonian and never be out of place.
Truly an antique in the future that will be a prized treasure.
Beauty that delights the eye and blessed for the body to behold!
The Dining Chair. Walnut
An unmatched masterpiece. I have never owned nor had the pleasure of dining in a chair with such character. The lumbar support while eating and the support of the thighs is unparralled in the dining experience.
Buy the Best First and you’ll never regret it!
Gary Weeks is an artist that quickly becomes a friend~!

Gary,
Thanks for writing. I should have written you by now.
The chairs arrived on schedule and are beautiful as well as extremely comfortable. They are in our kitchen around a table that L.’s dad refinished 30 years ago and had featured prominently in her childhood. The chairs work very well with the table esthetically, too. I suspect we will end up ordering 6 more for the dining room eventually.
The mahogany sample was clearly marked and has been set aside for a rendezvous with our furniture painter.
Best to all, and thanks for the info about Marshall.
Regards,

Sorry for not dropping a note to you earlier.
The table is very nice. It is just what I expected. You do very nice work.

Gary,
We are absolutely in love with our new chairs! We like to spend a lot of time at our dining table, and this really makes it special (and comfortable!).

Gary,
The table and chairs arrived Tuesday, and I just got the time to unwrap them last night. They are beautiful, as expected, and the table is indeed a nice size and looks good with just the two chairs. My small dinette set for two is perfectly proportioned; we did an excellent job of deciding upon the right size for the table top.
The color of the wood is not quite what I expected. It is a very neutral brown without any discernable red, green, or purple tinge, and it is a little lighter than anticipated. It is quite simply "brown" and, being not too dark and not too light, I am confident that it will go well in any setting I may find for it. (I plan to move a lot in the next few years.)
The grain on the table top is beautiful, and as you say, it is difficult to see the seams where the boards are glued together. I even went as far as to tape a piece of twine from edge to edge, along the seams to expose them. Still, there are areas where the grain of one board flows so well into the grain of the next, that it is quite impossible to follow any seam the entire length of the table!
The chairs are comfortable, just like my others, and I don't think I will miss the arms at all. The figure of the grain on the seat tops is stunning. Too bad most people won't see it, with the chairs shoved up to the table.
Thanks again for your work and dedication. You truly produce works of art. I am eagerly anticipating the introduction of the extra-large rocker. (Get to work!!) Hopefully by the time I retire. :-)
