Thank you for opening up your shop and showroom to us last Friday the 24th. We very much appreciated seeing the process of your fine furniture making. My brothers and I get together once a year and visit a workshop of a master craftsman. You could call us wood enthusiasts and avid woodworkers and have an appreciation for skills such as yours.

Last year we visited the legendary Sam Malouf's' showroom and shop in California. Mr. Malouf's work sets the gold standard for beauty and honoring the wood. The Gary Weeks furniture is equally spectacular. There are a few dramatic differences though. The Malouf rocker has graceful, fluid joints with a lounge–like sloping back but joints connecting lower legs to rocker were weak and some were cracking from the stresses of use. The Gary Weeks rocker by contrast had a more substantial joint design at the rocker and leg and was designed to be rocked in. We saw no evidence of joint stress in the Gary Weeks chairs or rockers. While the Malouf rockers are masterful works of art, the Gary Weeks rockers are masterpieces meant for everyday use and enjoyment.

Thank you, it was an honor to meet you and see your work.

Hi Gary,

I returned home last night from my trip and found a most luminous work of art shining in my library. In the low light of my library the chair glowed. It is incredibly beautiful wood and the matching of grains is stunning. Many thanks for this beautiful work of art. You are an artist of the highest order.

Gary,

Hello . . . And thank you. It's been good to work with you as well. I appreciate your understanding on the quantity adjustments as needs changed. I'm just thinking how to sum up what can be said about the rockers . . . they're just wonderful. You and yours are obviously very skilled at what you do. What a great way to honor Wyffels' retirees.

Wishing you a fine spring!

Gary,

B.'s son and I opened the carton and bubble wrap today just enough to see the inlay. Even though we had your photo, we couldn't wait any longer to see the real thing. Just wanted to tell you how much we like what we saw! So glad to have the opportunity to do this extra customization to make an awesome chair even more meaningful for A., B. and S.. Thanks, much.

Gary,

Thank you for the wonderful and well crafted rocker. It arrived with no damage and the color and wood is even better than the very nice photos online.
Thank you for your fine craftsmanship and excellent customer service.

Cheers,

The rocking chairs are absolutely beautiful. Right now, we have them in front of our fireplace here in Fort Worth, but we will retire soon and move them to the bay window at our lake house in Granbury. We'll rock and watch the ducks play — Nice work, if you can get it! And yes, we'll do some grandbaby rocking, that's for sure!

Thank you for your artistry!

Gary,

I received your work of art and it is in a prominent place — my bed room. It is such a pleasure to deal with someone that is an expert in their craft. If I decide that my old chair needs attention I will be in touch.

Peace and best wishes to you, your family, and your organization.

Hi Gary,

I love my new rocker and footstool! The craftsmanship is outstanding. Sorry I didn't meet you too. And Austin took great care of me. Will see you next time!

Dear Mr. Weeks,

Your beautiful rocker arrived this afternoon and it was exactly as J. hoped it would be! It felt just the same as his memories of the feel and comfort of our son's Weeks' rocker. Your workmanship is exquisite. The finish has the feel of a fine silk satin. We are both so pleased and happy with our purchase. Many thank you's to you and your staff.

Sincerely,
P.
