My walnut rocking chair has been delivered and I am sitting in it as I type this. I love how the back slats conform to my old back and I enjoy rocking away. The workmanship is outstanding. Haven't found one rough spot on it. My husband, a very critical furniture person, cannot find anything negative to say about it. He loves the walnut as do I. I do believe this is now a family heirloom. My husband thinks he might want one but he has a little difficulty standing up from it. He has had knee surgery recently, so I think that might be the problem. My only question now, do I need to keep it oiled down or polished? Even the delivery man was oohing and aahing over it as he helped me take it out of the packing.

We are really enjoying the rocker. It's a work of art made by true artists. We are happy to support a local company like yours.

Gary,

We are thankful that craftsmen and women like your company's make such high quality functional works of art. Our two walnut rockers, a small end table, and a small foot stool from your company are pieces of furniture we cherish and will use with pleasure. They will ultimately be family heirlooms to pass on to our sons' families.

Your employee, Autumn, who delivered the rocker a few weeks ago, is one dedicated employee to have driven from Wimberly to Kingwood and back to very carefully deliver our second rocker. Thank her for so carefully getting the chair to us.

Best Regards,
M.M. & M.M.

I must send you a picture of some of the grandchildren sitting in the rocker. These beautiful art pieces brought great joy and will be cherished for many years to come. We so enjoyed sitting in our rockers in front of the fireplace during those cold days, and we probably will enjoy them again tonight. It is such a pleasure doing business with you. You are a true delight. Also, Autumn has helped us out a lot as well. Thank you for being on this earth and sharing your beauty with us.

Thanks so much Gary. I've also been traveling, and just got the chance to see the rocker earlier this week. I couldn't be happier with it. The quality, craftsmanship, and downright beauty of the chair is wonderful. Thanks for all you do.

This arrived in perfect condition. And it's just beautiful! I really like the woodgrain and color. I will take a day or two to decide if I'm shipping the walnut rocker back, that we spoke about. They are both so comfortable that I hate giving one up!

For some weird reason, as I got into my older years, I gravitate toward handmade wood objects. Furniture. Small carvings. Netsuke.
I just can't seem to get enough. It might just be the "collector" in me (which is an insidious disease, by the way — says the man with 200 small carvings!!).

I think it's an inner desire to, somehow, stay connected to the planet and Mother Nature.
Not that I'm one of those "mystical" folks. I think of them more as sculptures and works of art.
Maybe I'm making amends to myself for never having taken the time to develop a craft. Your woodworking skills must give you a great deal of personal joy.

I just read a book called "Why We Make Things and Why It Matters" by Peter Korn, in an effort to understand this fascination of mine.

I will say this — and I know you've heard it before — nobody builds a more-comfortable rocker than you do.
One of the few I've sat in that I do not immediately think "Gee . . . I need a cushion or two."
Nope.
Your rocker reminds me of the hugs my mother used to give me as a child when I sat in her lap being rocked to sleep or comforted after some small malady.
That's the best way I can describe it. It's like being hugged while sitting in Mama's lap.

I'm 64 years young, and she's been long-gone since I was 12 (I was a very late child, and a bit of a surprise — they almost named me "Boo!"). :-)
Next to a very nice antique radio I bought on eBay, this is the only furniture I really care about.

Good job!
Once again — thanks...
