I am constantly amazed by the level of craftsmanship that comes from the people who work here at the shop. Dave, the Repair Craftsman fabricated this rocker, to replace the one that was missing. Rockers are tough to duplicate because the curve on the bottom has to exactly match the original. If they don't match perfectly then the person using the chair will be able to feel an un-even rock.
Once the piece was constructed though, it still had to be made to match the color of the original. That is where Steve, the Master Craftsman steps in. He did a very nice job. Not only does the new match the old in color, but the distressing on the original that occurs with time was mimicked on the new! This required fancy technique and an artistic eye.
