Category: Rocking Chair - Craftsmanship

Gary,
The rocker does pull you in. It seductively says give me a try. Have a seat. And when you do, you're in no hurry to get up.
Gary — I started life as an architect. So I did the whole design thing through school. My sophomore year we had to design and make furniture. I chose chairs and my prof said I was crazy. Well there were 4 chairs over the course of two semesters. One looked good but killed you when you sat in it. Two were just ok and the fourth was a winner. Chair design is very difficult and having given it a try I know how hard it is. Your rocker is a masterpiece. It seems to be body agnostic, that is, it doesn't matter how tall or wide you are, it is comfortable. Add to that great aesthetics and marvelous craftsmanship and it is a piece that is fought over in an estate settlement.
Before we're done, everyone in the family will be a proud owner of a Gary Weeks rocker.
Enjoy your weekend.

Hello Gary,
The chairs were presented last night and once the honorees got out of them, they were never empty!
Many people were asking where they came from so I hope you will get some Corpus Christi business!
They really are amazing quality and the finish is like silk — we all kept "petting" the arms! Thank you so much — all of the board was impressed with the choice.
Keep up the good work!

Hey Gary,
We got the chairs. They’re beautiful. The shippers did a good job. No problem with that. The joinery is superb. The finish is even better. They’re beautiful.

Gary,
The chair Kate ordered was a birthday present for me. I recently suffered a back injury that has made sitting for anything more than 15 minutes unbearable. Your chair is a wonder, allowing me to sit comfortably for hours. That it is a beautiful example of craftsmanship is a bonus.
Many thanks, and happy holidays,

Dear Mr. Weeks,
You are an artist of the highest order. Your chair is a beautiful work of art, comfort, and style. I could not be more pleased were it made of gold . . .
Many, many thanks!

Gary:
What can we say about the rockers and bar stools — they are stunning. We can feel the extraordinary craftsmanship every time we touch them and they are a dream to sit in. Thanks aren't enough. You must and should be so proud of the extraordinary work that comes out of your shop. — Loved the children's drawings on the boxes too — I guess everyone in the Week's family is part of the team. We will treasure them.
Happy Holidays to you and yours,

Hey, thanks for the tour. I am enjoying the chair, I like just looking at it. Others in the family have complimented your design and craftsmanship. Guess the weather is about to get cool so put on your knickers.

Hi Gary,
We opened the rocker yesterday. It is gorgeous. As nice as you describe it and better. Ginny is delighted and as she sat and settled in the first time just kept repeating "Oh wow, oh wow". It looks big on her but she is comfortable and that is what counts. Your chair is a work of art and we are proud to have it in our living room. I expect it is a lifetime purchase.

Dear Gary,
My name is M. and I am friends with L. I was lucky enough to be the recipient of the cherry rocker.
I want to let you know how much our families appreciate the work that you've done with each rocker. We thank you again for creating three works of art. We will cherish our rocker for many generations.
Best,
M.St. Charles, Illinois
