I meant to send you a note

Dear Gary,

I am happily enjoying my new walnut rocker. It is not only fine and beautiful, but also extremely comfortable. My cousin had predicted disaster — that I would regret changing from the recliner because of the lack of padding and the inability to lean back with one’s feet up. My old recliner, named Big Blue, has gone to that Great Recliner in the Sky, and I sit like a queen in my chair where I read, knit, and watch television. I can report that my hips and legs do not hurt any more with the nerve pain that seemed to arise after about two hours. I think I can safely attribute this to the gentle curve of the rocker back as it supports the spine.

I also want to tell you how much I enjoyed the hour and a half during which we visited on the front porch of your showroom. You are a true artist and artisan, and I feel honored to enjoy one of your creations. It is an example of the integrity you build into your work, and that can only come from your own ethic of industry and honesty. I look forward to visiting you again sometime.

When I was a child, we had rocking chairs. I grew up with them, and I believe that if everyone in the world had a rocking chair, we would have less violence and trouble. They are restful to the body and soothing to the soul.

As ever,
T.J..

Dear folks

Our rocking chair was delivered yesterday in perfect condition. We love it — it is very comfortable and the wood grain is beautiful. Many thanks for the care taken in crafting the chair and assuring its safe delivery.

Hi Gary,

The chair was just delivered. There was a mix up and it was put on the schedule for tomorrow. When I called at 4 and was told that, I begged and pleaded and they found a driver to take it. He even helped me undo the crate. The chair is beautiful and fits great. Many many thanks for all your personal help and hard work. You can picture me healing in the chair.

I really love it — my feet touch the floor and the arms are the right place for reading or knitting.

I will sing your praises to all.

Thank you very much for everything.

Gratefully,
J.B.

Hi Gary,

As promised, here is a picture of your (our) beautiful rocking chair. We are very pleased with it, it is very comfortable. The floor squeaks a bit while we are rocking, and the sound is quite soothing! It is really a nice piece in our living room, and it fits perfectly in the contemporary look of it.

It was a pleasure doing business with you, and I will recommend you to all my friends and family.

Thanks again,
G.B. and D.D.

Dear Gary,

The chairs have arrived in fine condition and look beautiful. It seems that once they left Texas, there was no holding them back. (Is that a parable of some sort?)

The pads you attached are just the ones I've used for other pieces on this floor, and they will be easy to replace when the time comes.

So, a happy ending — at least of chapter one. These chairs are built for a long history, and this is just the start.

Thanks for your work, trust, and care,
D. and S.

Finally . . . IT’S HERE!!!

D. loves it! It is even more beautiful than expected, and so, so, so smooth! It smells so good.

Everything is perfect, the chair and stool make a perfect match, and I think I will have to fight to sit on it!

Thank you so very much for your help and your support throughout the shipping process, it was not that bad after all . . .

I’ll send you pictures soon,
G.B.

Gary,

Have been travelling this week and just got home to find my 8 months pregnant wife rocking happily in her new chair. She loves it and I have to say its a beautiful piece of work by you. My wifes friend came around and commented "do you have a cushion for it" my wife told her it was so soft that you didn't need one and as soon as her friend sat it the chair she got the message.

Have to say the workmanship is outstanding and the chair has a nice modern feel about the look.

Both our mothers are coming to stay after the baby arrives so there may be some fighting over who gets the chair!

Thanks again.

Hi Gary,

It was a glorious weekend, and D. was really thrilled with his chair. The walnut one sits proudly in our great room. They both are so very beautiful. Thanks so much for creating such wonderful work.

Best,

Gary –

I've been meaning to write to you about the surprise delivery. The note to call before delivery got covered by a routing sticker, so they just showed up. Fortunately, I was home and so have been enjoying my gorgeous and incredibly comfortable new rocker earlier than expected. The shipping process didn't even mark the cardboard, and the chair arrived in perfect condition.

The one downside is that I have significant competition for the seat, from any human who comes near it, but also from my little female cat who insists it's the perfect size and shape for her. She will, at least, let me sit between her and the chair.

I don't live in a mansion here, but rather in a tiny place that's almost all built by hand, with trim, decking and shelving made from site-milled cedar and fir. The wonderful description of your design and construction process on your web site helped me understand that your chair would be a perfect fit in my new mini house. Thank you so much for the marvelous rocker and for the seamless ordering and delivery process.
