Comments from our Patrons

Hi all,

Just a quick note to thank all of you for the hard work put in to my rocker, which arrived today (Friday a.m).

It is a wonderful piece of furniture, as you know, and the exquisite curves and colour, let alone the joins which can hardly even be seen, are something to just marvel over.

To Gary and Austin especially, thank you. And to Leslie and Zach and all the others who contributed, thanks for your work.

It is of course the best piece of furniture I have ever bought and the most prized. Nothing I've invested in even comes close except for my flat! And even that is not as beautiful.

I am and have been in awe of the work that you all do and would be blessed if I could work in wood with even a fraction of the skills and precision. But of course that is the domain of just a few, and my own skills are elsewhere.

And I wish for you all the best of luck and prosperity in your work, ideas and plans for the future whatever they are, although of course they will involve wood and wonderful design and execution.

I will cherish my Weeks Rocker and always remember the work that went into the design, the choice of wood and the careful shaping and polishing of the parts to make it a truly memorable piece of furniture that will always be admired and used.

Regards,
G.M.

PS: Will wire balance of money owed at earliest opportunity, either today or Monday.

For your interest, the total of Australian duties and GST and quarantine charges plus delivery came to about US$770 (AUD$1336), just in case you want to note it down for any other potential Australian patrons later.

Gary:

B.'s cherry Weeks Rocker arrived as promised, right on time and she absolutely loves it. I am in awe at the wood selection and the fine craftsmanship. I wish we had purchased this earlier (if you remember, I have been looking at your chairs in Austin since the days of your Texas pecan rocker, which I am truly sorry I don't possess). Thanks again.

Dear Gary,

Your (my) rocker is a great success here in the Blue Creek/Chewelah environs; if only I could get a chance to use and enjoy it. Neighbors and their kin and kids all are delighted with it. Now if only they would purchase their own!! And, stop bringing their little kids over for story times, afternoon naps and nighttime bedtimes!!

Maybe I should have been more awares, and ordered two — but no!! that would mean even many many more visitors!! My little shack couldn't support it. (Especially the cookies and milk.)

But maybe I will. Until then, the best is yet to come, get ready, and keep dancing.

Sincerely,
D.K

Gary,

Thank you again for your outstanding design and craftsmanship. The rocking chair has been more comfortable than I could have ever imagined, even sitting for long periods of time. My feet even touch the floor! I am still amazed with the way the chair fits both me and my husband perfectly, yet is beautiful too. It will truly be a blessing for our nursery and home for years to come.

Good luck to you and your business.

Dear Gary,

Received my rocker in fine shape. Needless to say, the workmanship and finish were superb. However, waited a while to write this letter because I wanted to give it a good workout. I can say, without qualification this is an extremely comfortable piece of furniture and pleasing to the eye. One item I would like to mention is the ability to get in and out of the rocker is very easy, meaning the design was right. My thanks for a perfect addition to our home.

Best regards,

Dear Gary,

The walnut chairs are beautiful! They are almost too pretty to sit in but they are also so comfortable and feel so good. The are true works of art and M. and I (and all our friends) just love them.

Thank you again for beautiful craftsmanship.

Hi, Gary,
[transcribed from the answering machine, GW]

This is a satisfied customer calling from Harlingen, Texas. The two chairs arrived in perfect condition. I've had the chairs for three days now, and for the last three days in a row, I have fallen asleep sitting bolt upright in your chair. I can't say that about any other chair. Good job.

Dear Gary,

I couldn't wait to drop you a note to tell you how much I love our two new walnut Wilson chairs! They are absolutely gorgeous--truly pieces of art!!! We feel so fortunate to have acquired them, and they look fabulous on either side of our sideboard in the living room. We truly do appreciate all the craftsmanship, time, effort, and attention to detail that went into these fabulous chairs, and simply had to let you know how much we love them. We keep sitting in them and running our hands over the wood . . . well, you get the picture.

Again, thank you so very, very much for these beautiful chairs!

Sincerely,
K.W.

Dear Gary Weeks and Company,

Enclosed find check in payment of invoice for the beautiful walnut dining table and six chairs. We fully intend to enjoy them for as long as we are "able to enjoy." And we do indeed highly value the craftsmanship that went into creating these pieces —
