Gary
I apologize for not writing sooner — it has been a bit of a whirlwind since we picked it up on Saturday. We only opened it last night. We thought we would try not to but we just couldn't resist taking it out of the crate. It is exquisite . . . I love how the grains match so beautifully. It is truly a work of art.
Of course, we could not resist sitting in it if only briefly and oh my, it is so comfortable. It holds the body just so . . . as if it were made to measure for each one who sits in it. No doubt our family will spend long hours daydreaming in that perfect chair. Indeed, I write stories for my grandchildren and I can already feel one coming on about the magic rocker that will take you anywhere your imagination can go; the magic rocker that fits every body just so. Imagine the adventures that will be had for generations in that perfect chair!
We haven't given the gift yet as we will present it to them on their wedding which is June 21, 2017. Honestly, we are tempted to keep it so it is a good thing the initials are on the chair as we can't hide the fact that it is actually for F.!! We do know that they will love it as much as we do and that it will become a family heirloom.
Oh and I should add that I did not end up having to pay duty. The very kind Canadian Border Officer asked me what was in the crate and I told her the truth. The perfect rocker, hand made in Texas and a wedding gift. She smiled and said have a nice day and a beautiful wedding. So despite a moment of confusion your perfect rocker is already creating good relations!
Many, many thanks

Dear Gary,
We have enjoyed your chairs for a few years now and have not found any others that come close for beauty and comfort. We now have another home in Hawaii (Honolulu) and are interested in purchasing about 8 chairs for our home there. Same type of chairs we ordered previously: 2 arm chairs, 4 side chairs . . .
Sincerely,

Dear Gary,
It was so nice to hear from you. We couldn't be happier with our rocker!
Everyone who comes over has to sit in it, and now no one wants to leave!!
Thank you,

Leslie,
The newly arrived Otwell side table is now along side my Weeks Rocker and Harris Stool — three well used, exquisite pieces of furniture that I will cherish forever!

Good Morning Austin,
My walnut rocker arrived in Sisters, Oregon yesterday in perfect condition.
When I ordered this rocker, I told you that I had a very bad lower back and there was a good possibility that the chair wouldn't work for me. You said that it wasn't a problem and that if the chair wasn't comfortable, I could send it back for a refund.
My purpose in writing you today is to tell you that this chair is NEVER going to be returned. My wife was the first to sit in it. She sat down and said, "Oh My God, this is so comfortable." When I sat in it, I had the same thought.
I spent most of yesterday afternoon sitting in the chair marveling at how good it felt. The chair is beautiful. The chair is comfortable. What more could I ask for?
Thank you for making this chair for me.
Sincerely,
D. S.Sisters, Oregon

Thanks so much, Gary. I love the workmanship that goes into your rocking chairs. And I'm so happy that I came by and chose such a special rocker. I will rock along for years to come. God has plenty of work for me! I'll keep on keeping on . . .
Until next time!

Hello Gary Weeks and Company!
I purchased one of your rocking chairs back in 1998 right before the birth of our first child. In fact, it's rocker #341. I am so proud of my chair and LOVE sitting in it! In fact, it's in our bedroom, so I look at it every day!! When we have guests visit, I make sure they sit in it and you know what they always say? Well, you guys know! "It's so incredibly comfortable!!!" So, you know we are huge fans of your work!
. . . And Gary, I called you about a year ago, looking for a Texas woodworker who made wooden urns — not sure if you remember me. You gave me a number that lead me here and there, but we eventually finally found someone in the Austin area. He handmade us a beautiful urn for my father-in-law's ashes.
It sits on a shelf in our living room and it is such a beautiful and special piece. So, thanks for helping us find someone!
Regards,
K. L.Magnolia, Texas
