Dear Gary, Austin, and Autumn,

The three pieces arrived today, carefully carried into the space by Plycon’s delivery folk. No damage of any sort, just a little tape residue here and there which comes off with a microfiber cloth.

And the pieces are beautiful. The photos on the web site made me confident, as did the explanations of how the designs came to be and were executed, but pictures just can’t capture what you have made for us. We’re particularly struck by the quiet elegance, the subtle detail, the way that all the furniture somehow combines a sort of humility and practicality with sheer beauty. And of course the craftsmanship is superb.

We’ve looked at lots of rockers over the years (Portland is that kind of town), but never found anything that seemed right, shaped to the body, friendly to the eye, confident in its own place in the world but not trying to make a statement. And the desk and accompanying chair are worthy kin.

We feel very lucky to have found your work, and are grateful to all who have put their hands to this project.

Best wishes,

R.K.

Hi Gary,

It was a real treat visiting with Autumn as well... really enjoy the chair… It is in fact one of the most comfortable chairs I have ever been in…

Beautiful as well.

Gary,

Thank you for the follow up. Yes, the chair and foot stool arrived yesterday morning. It is beautiful and appears to be in excellent shape! The engraving is perfect.

Thanks and Happy 4th,

Gary,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful note. We also have been traveling, hence the rather late acknowledgement of how thrilled we are with our new rocker. It is so beautiful, a real work of art. And more important it is equally comfortable for myself (5'2") and my husband (6'1"). Would not have believed that to be possible. We are so happy with our chair, thanks again.

Appreciatively,
P.F.

Hello Gary and Company. Our Walnut Rocker arrived in fine order on Friday in Michigan. It was well packed and there weren't any marks on the box. I had forgotten how beautiful, rich and shiny it was 17 years ago when I bought it. Y'all did a fabulous job refinishing it!! Unfortunately, once we put it in our living room we realized that it was just too nice for our renters to use. Like I've always said, y'all are artists and not just wood workers. I could not allow such a beautiful work or art to be scratched, or god forbid to have someone sit on it with a wet bathing suit. That just won't do! So it shall sit in our locked owners closet, wrapped like a present until we return for a month in July/Aug so only we will be the ones to marvel and enjoy it.

Many thanks for an exceptional job done by all at Gary Weeks and Company. Always remember that you create beauty that enriches other peoples lives!

Fondly,
M.S & T.S.

Gary,

I apologize for not responding the day my rocking chair, stool and table arrived (That day I wrote my feelings on a sticky note and stuck the note to my office phone. They exceeded all my expectations. They are beautiful, comfortable and have a quality that evokes feelings of harmony and peace within me. Plus, I love to sit in the chair, put my feet on the stool take a book from the table and read. In short you all have made me very happy. Thanks to all of you. It will all be used, but reverently.

Italy sounds great. A few years ago, J. and I spent a couple of weeks at Montestigliano, wonderful olive farm/villa 12 miles outside Siena. Hadn't been in Italy since '68 when I rode a Vespa all through Rome. Glad you got away and to such a special place. Curious to see if there is a Renaissance touch to future furniture.

Thanks again I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the process and love the result. I am bragging about "Gary Weeks and Company Furniture Makers" to everyone.
