It arrived without a scratch. My husband said it was very well packed — there was a hole in the box, but the delivery fellow waited until he had unpacked it, and there was no damage. We both think it is beautiful and very comfortable.

Thanks,

Dear Austin and Gary,

I am so sorry for the belated expression of gratitude. Moving has been a bear, and I whole-heartedly echo my mom's words, but I should have added my own sooner!

The rocking chair and accompanying pieces are truly wonderful. The craftsmanship is breathtaking, and the wood immediately envelops a sitter in softness and warmth. My husband, Brian, and I are gearing up for many changes as we look forward to our first baby's arrival in September, and the rocking chair already offers a sense of comfort in our new world. We will treasure the chair, stool, and table as family heirlooms, and are so grateful to my parents and to you for providing pieces that will be passed down through generations.

Thank you thank you thank you!

Sincerely,
S.

I did receive them, Gary. They are beautiful. My wife moved the mahogany out on our porch this morning. I'm sitting in my cherry now.
My friend in California is jealous.
I love the chairs, but I also like supporting good craftsmen and artists. Wish I had room for more.

Dear Austin and Gary,

The crate arrived last Wednesday and B. was able to be home for that. Since the crate looked well intact they accepted the delivery but waited for us to arrive to open it.

We are all so thrilled with everything . . . the workmanship is awe-inspiring and the beauty of the wood is truly stunning. It is so comfortable and comforting to sit in the rocker . . . M. and I look forward to putting it to good use whenever we can visit . . . and I know S. and B. will truly enjoy it on a daily basis.

It is a family heirloom that will be appreciated and cherished. I'm not exactly sure how each piece is made (by one person, etc.) but a big THANK YOU to all involved. From the get-go Austin answered all of my questions and walked me through the ordering process . . . then Gary, as we know, did the same for us through the delivery process. (Austin, we hope you had a great vacation.)

We are grateful for all your kindness, help, and care.

Austin et al: The Rocker arrived safely this afternoon. The wrapping job was itself a wonder of wonders. The beautiful Rocker is simply a product of the most artistic minds and hands in the business of woodcarving. It is more beautiful than we imagined it would be. The grain of the wood takes on a surreal flow of curves and colorations, so much more intense than we thought it would be. No one could be more pleased.

Thank you all for your signatures, which makes this Rocker so much more to us than a piece of inanimate furniture. We enjoyed meeting you, and we will never forget your artistry.

Every good wish,
A. and S.

Dear Gary,

I just received my rocker. The shipper was courteous and the crate arrived in perfect condition. I am sitting in my chair writing this email. While a picture is worth a thousand words, neither is adequate to describe the comfort I am experiencing. The arm rests are the perfect placement, my feet rest comfortably on the floor and the finish is soft, smooth and beautiful. I can only imagine one thing that would make this better . . . having one of my granddaughters here with me to share it!

Thank you . . . Sincerely,
S.

Gary & Austin,

I just wanted to let you know the chair got to our house in fine shape this afternoon. It's just beautiful and such a pleasure to rock in, much less look at :-)

I know it will outlive us, but hopefully we'll have at least a few years to enjoy it.

Dear Mr. Weeks,

We would like to tell you that words cannot express how happy we are with the Walnut Rocker you made for us. It is absolutely gorgeous! It arrived exactly on time in perfect condition as you promised. It's amazing how it "fits" both myself and my wife. Know that we have a 12 inch difference in our heights and the rocker is so comfortable for both of us. You certainly have a gift in your woodworking skills, talent, and artistry. My wife rocks in it everyday and it brings her such peace and joy while she meditates there. We've used it to rock our grandson and looking forward to rocking the two new grandbabies coming this summer and fall. We just can't say enough nor thank you enough for this incredible rocking chair!

Gratefully Happy,
D. and D.

Gary,

Just wanted to let you know that I received the rocker and my wife and I are very pleased. As a fellow woodworker I can appreciate the beautiful joinery besides the fact that the chair is very comfortable. Thanks again.
