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.

Gary,

Are you keeping on going in good spirits? Do you still think of Thoreau whilst hoeng the beans? I do and the harvest will be good. Thanks again for the beautiful rocking chair.

It performs well. My kids are beginning to show interest. I am not living in a rocking chair community, it is roman catholic not anglican. We are having a cool and moist summer, almost everyday a monsoon-like thunderstorm, so the naked snail we imported from spain is multipling.

Greetings from Austria to you and your crew.

I did receive them, Gary. They are beautiful. My wife moved the mahogany out on our porch this morning. I'm sitting in my cherry now.
My friend in California is jealous.
I love the chairs, but I also like supporting good craftsmen and artists. Wish I had room for more.

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.

The chairs have both arrived safely and in perfect condition. We are delighted with them and have already spent some happy hours sitting and letting the world drift by. They have been admired by friends and visitors and I believe will be a big part of our enjoyment of our home over the coming years.

Many thanks for creating such wonderful furnishings.

Regards

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.
