Dear Gary Weeks,

About 25-30 years ago I ordered a walnut rocking chair from you and asked you to put the AA circle with triangle on the headrest. After receiving it I wrote to you then about the quality of your work as I have been a woodworker and wood turner for years.

I am still excited about the beauty and servicablility of my Gary Weeks walnut rocker. The patina is just luscious!

Thanks again!

Hi Gary,

Yes, it was delivered safe, sound and, of course, beautiful. As always.

I had it delivered to our farm in Ware Neck, VA, and our farm manager, C.B., handled the logistics and sent me a picture. I bought it to offer in the annual auction (late January) of the Gloucester-Mathews Humane Society, our local area animal shelter near the farm.

One thing is certain… the guests at our auction will have no doubt about the virtues of the magnificent Weeks Rocker!

My congratulations on your life’s body of work and in creating a business and products of such lasting value.

My best regards,

D.W.

Gary,

The rocker made it out to Santa Paula for our mom’s 80th BD celebration. It was a great surprise as J was able to take delivery and keep the crate secret until the party.

As always, your craftsmanship is superb and was well-received by the multiple generations represented at the occasion.

We hope to continue doing business with you and your well into the future.

Thanks again,

B. & K.H.

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.

Thanks, Gary. I enjoy this chair and footstool more every day. What a simple, well-made pleasure!

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.
