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.

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.

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.

Hi Gary and Austin,

We have so much enjoyed our lovely rocker that somehow we managed to ship down to St John USVI in 2011.

You may have heard that St John took a direct hit last September from a Category 5 hurricane. Winds in our hill were clocked at 280 mph, when the machine measuring them broke. It was followed 2 weeks later by another Category 5 (Maria) which devastated Puerto Rico and thoroughly soaked whatever was left on St John. We lost our roof, our wooden decks, and most of our wooden furniture from moisture and mold, but . . . . MIRACULOUSLY, not our rocker! It is virtually the only wooden piece left, and we treasure it all the more.

Best,
J.M.

Dear Autumn,

My rocker and stool arrived yesterday in perfect condition.

I just wanted to tell you and Gary and whoever worked on these beautiful pieces how exquisite they are — perfectly stunning. The comfortable design, incredible craft, gorgeous use of the wood — they are works of art.

I may have mentioned that I am an amateur woodworker and while I'll never make a piece like these, my appreciation runs deep. When my daughter has children I hope she'll nurse them in this rocker. Or maybe I'll have to get her one for herself since I may not be willing to share.

Thank you, and all best wishes for your success,

R.M.
