Another Rocking Chair

 This is the 3rd Rocking Chair made mostly of Rewarewa, By the time I gave a thought to photos I had already cut out the back legs, this is all the Rewarewa wood I have and some of it has woodworm in it that I am trying to avoid using.

I have a number of adjustments that I want to make while making this chair there are also some changes as to how I actually go about putting it together, all of this Rewarewa is thicker than the Rimu I had for the last chair so that is making a difference too, each chair is very unique even though they all look the same when finished.

The seat has been carved out using a very different method to the last 2 chairs  so that has been a learning experience and one that I like, we will have to wait and see if the sitting experience is any different.

The front legs are (according to instructions) made of 2 pieces of wood glued together but because I had a larger piece they will each be made of one piece.

I am already a few weeks into this build, I have lost a few days due to machinery that stopped working and a mistake that I made, it is now winter and we are having some cold mornings so its not the best time to be out in the garage, the afternoons also suddenly become cold, I feel that I rushed the first 2 chairs so now I think I can take a little longer or just as long as it takes I am not keeping a track of time on this chair so it is what it is.

The back braces were made for the last chair but I had a change of mind so these one were made ready and waiting for me to use, the wood on the front and back is Rimu with 2 lamination's inside of Tawa the contrast will be good and the rockers are the same.
