Dear Austin and Gary,

I am so sorry for the belated expression of gratitude. Moving has been a bear, and I whole-heartedly echo my mom's words, but I should have added my own sooner!

The rocking chair and accompanying pieces are truly wonderful. The craftsmanship is breathtaking, and the wood immediately envelops a sitter in softness and warmth. My husband, Brian, and I are gearing up for many changes as we look forward to our first baby's arrival in September, and the rocking chair already offers a sense of comfort in our new world. We will treasure the chair, stool, and table as family heirlooms, and are so grateful to my parents and to you for providing pieces that will be passed down through generations.

Thank you thank you thank you!

Sincerely,
S.

Hi Gary.

The rocker did arrive and it is lovely. I love the wonderful smooth feel and the rounded curves.

At 5 feet tall, I am somewhat height challenged. I looked online at your stools, and I see the one that is meant for a footstool, but not for rocking. It is probably a little too high for my purposes. I'm wondering if it is possible or practical to make a small stool or box, perhaps 4–5 inches in height, that might add to the comfort somewhat. Is that something that you all can do, or are interested in doing? It's not essential, just something that I was thinking about.

Thank you so much for all your help. This is a wonderful chair. My whole family likes it.

Dear Austin and Gary,

The crate arrived last Wednesday and B. was able to be home for that. Since the crate looked well intact they accepted the delivery but waited for us to arrive to open it.

We are all so thrilled with everything . . . the workmanship is awe-inspiring and the beauty of the wood is truly stunning. It is so comfortable and comforting to sit in the rocker . . . M. and I look forward to putting it to good use whenever we can visit . . . and I know S. and B. will truly enjoy it on a daily basis.

It is a family heirloom that will be appreciated and cherished. I'm not exactly sure how each piece is made (by one person, etc.) but a big THANK YOU to all involved. From the get-go Austin answered all of my questions and walked me through the ordering process . . . then Gary, as we know, did the same for us through the delivery process. (Austin, we hope you had a great vacation.)

We are grateful for all your kindness, help, and care.

Hi Gary,

We received the maple rocking chair two days ago. It's very well made, and fits both me (5'2") and my husband (5'8") well. It looks and feels better than we expected.

The entire chair is very smooth to touch. The wood grain is really nice, and the finish has an interesting shimmering 3-D effect. My husband was expecting a really light color, like the mass-produced plain maple furniture. He was pleasantly surprised that your hand-rubbed oil finish has darkened the maple and the result is just the right color for us.

Overall, we are quite happy with your rocking chair. We'd highly recommend you to other people in the future.

Best,
F. & J.

Austin,

The rocker arrived safely and was easily unpacked.

I am very happy with it, and wish to thank all of the Gary Weeks & Co. Furnituremakers for their work in helping to craft it. The quality of the workmanship and design is outstanding.

Best regards,

Austin et al: The Rocker arrived safely this afternoon. The wrapping job was itself a wonder of wonders. The beautiful Rocker is simply a product of the most artistic minds and hands in the business of woodcarving. It is more beautiful than we imagined it would be. The grain of the wood takes on a surreal flow of curves and colorations, so much more intense than we thought it would be. No one could be more pleased.

Thank you all for your signatures, which makes this Rocker so much more to us than a piece of inanimate furniture. We enjoyed meeting you, and we will never forget your artistry.

Every good wish,
A. and S.

Dear Gary,

I just received my rocker. The shipper was courteous and the crate arrived in perfect condition. I am sitting in my chair writing this email. While a picture is worth a thousand words, neither is adequate to describe the comfort I am experiencing. The arm rests are the perfect placement, my feet rest comfortably on the floor and the finish is soft, smooth and beautiful. I can only imagine one thing that would make this better . . . having one of my granddaughters here with me to share it!

Thank you . . . Sincerely,
S.
