Gary and Company,

The rocker arrived yesterday afternoon in perfect condition. I can't thank you all enough for your artistry and professionalism. It truly is the most comfortable chair that I have ever sat in and incredibly beautiful to look at. My back instantly felt comfort that I have not felt in years. From my first phone call to Gary to the arrival of the chair yesterday you guys have all been amazing. Thanks again for your beautiful work and increasing the quality of my life.

Dear Gary,

Thirty years ago my wife Judith purchased a maple rocker from you for my birthday. Today it looks the same as when it was packaged and delivered to us. I really have not done anything to it except wipe it clean from time to time. The natural oils from my arms have assisted in keeping it’s natural beauty. It has always been a perfect fit ergonomically and is a joy to sit in and read. The chair has moved with us to the Middle East, Los Angeles (Woodland Hills), Washington DC and twice to Austin.

Thank you for your craftsmanship and care.

Gary,

My mom was beyond thrilled with the beautiful walnut rocker! The rocker sits proudly in the library by the fireplace-just like when she was growing up. Many years of comfort and gentle to and fro await her. Thank you for making her day extra special for us with something handcrafted with love.

Gary,

Dave received the rocker on Tuesday and is very happy with it. It is a perfect fit for the room.

Thanks for your excellent craftsmanship; it's hard to believe that it's been over twenty years since we visited your shop in Texas.

Best regards,

We love the rocker! The cherry wood is a perfect color. The finish is so smooth, even in underneath areas! You obviously take a lot of pride in making your furniture.

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.

Our beautiful cherry rocker just arrived Monday morning. I did not get an advance call for 4 hour window so I'm very glad I was home when the driver called to say he would be here in an hour! It was actually perfect timing since the sun is shining right now in Annapolis. We are in a period of expected 10 days of rain so I have been worrying about a possible delivery in a downpour.

Our grandchild was "due" on the 21st so we've been wondering which would come first, the baby or the rocker . You won!

Thank you for being so kind. We look forward to many hours of cuddling our first grandchild in the wonderful rocker. I love handmade things — I'm a pottery student — so appreciate all the attention to details in your work.

Thank you for your note...Your thoughtful design and craftsmanship will definitely be appreciated at our house!

...E and I both have back issues. The chair is very comfortable for me and I have practiced rocking in it several times today. I can't wait for E to get home from work so he can try it too.

Appreciate your kindness every step of the way with our rocker.
