Gary and Company,

A light snow has fallen overnight, dusting the trees and lake ice with powdery white. When the sun comes up, I'll do what has become one of my favorite things, take a quiet seat in your wonderful rocker and gaze out the window southeast through the woods and over the lake. The scene is surely serene, but the rocker adds immensely to that serenity. It envelopes and supports. It seems as timeless as the scene out the window. Oh, how I love to sit and look and rock.

My wife and I bought two of your rockers over a year ago. They were reciprocal gifts, emblems of a turning point in our lives, as our now grown children set out into the world and as we come to terms with our age and our quietude. Our fondest hope is to rock away together for another 35 years of marriage, and when that is done for our two children to take our rockers and continue on. The chairs are built for the generations to come. We use them now. I smile when I think of who may be using them in 100 years.

I am a big fan of artisan work and people who have a love and passion for getting up everyday and doing what they were born to do. The things they create tend to make a connection between those who made it and those who use it. They are also all the more beautiful for it as well. Hopefully we will get the opportunity to travel to Wimberley and stop by the shop when we visit Texas in April.

Sincerely,

Gary,

Sorry I haven't written to you sooner. I saw the beautiful rocker last Friday and had a chance to sit in it. Comfortable indeed!

. . . I can't tell you what a work of art the chair is. It will indeed make a wonderful heirloom in years to come.

I will get back to you in the future about the placque to be engraved under the seat of the rocker.

Thanks,
D.W.

PS: The chair was in a container secure enough to be part of Fort Knox.

Just wanted to let you know how much we have enjoyed the wonderful chairs you made for us back in the mid 90's. The rockers both still rock sweetly and look stunning while doing so. It's great to find a product whose long term performance matches its initial promise.

We wish you, your family and the rest of the crew at Gary Weeks and Company all the best.

With warmest regards,
S. & S.J.

Hi Mr. Weeks,

I was just in receipt of this wonderful walnut chair and just wanted to let you know that it arrived safely in perfect condition and it is absolutely beautiful, and my wife and I are absolutely delighted with it.
It is phenomenal.
Hopefully we will be doing business in the future.
Thank you so much, sir, for your craftsmanship and vision.

Thank you very much,

Hi Aubrey,

Our rocking chair arrived today and we are very, very happy. It's a pleasure to look at, a pleasure to sit in and a pleasure to touch. Our first turns trying it out were pretty short, as it was still VERY cold from the truck, but once it warmed up to room temperature we rocked away happily. The angle of the seat and back is perfect, and the wood and the workmanship are both beautiful.

Thanks very much,

Hi Gary,

I surprised my wife with the rocking chair last night and she is absolutely thrilled. It is truly a beautiful piece that we will use for years and years.

Thanks very much for the excellent craftsmanship.

I gave M. her chair last night and she was moved and awed and extremely appreciative of the beauty and integrity of the piece. It’s already become her chill-out vehicle. Thanks again,
