    you da man #2! I like the more slender lines, and the highlight in the rockers. Sweet.

    BTW how do you make the time for all this ww? 2 chairs in 3 months - awesome. With her working 2-3 days, kids life saving twice a week, swimming lessons, visitors, work, etc etc, i've hardly touched a tool in 3 months.

    The wife is busy with the children all day. When they go to bed it is her time to be alone. So I go to the garage.

    In my case, she is busy with the kids all day and when they go to bed she wants to talk...mention that I'd like to do some shed work and I'll be shot....

    Love the variation. A much more elegant and feminine version of the Malouf style.

    So Wongo, what timber are the slats made from? The rest looks like Blue Gum as in the first rocker.

    I use titebond II to laminate the rockers and 2 parts epoxy for the joints.

    Scott,

    I am surprised that you used PVA for laminating the rockers, in view of its tendency to creep. I hope this will not turn out to be a problem for you. I have always used urea formaldehyde or epoxy for bent laminations.

    G'day Wongo,

    Like the first, the second looks awesome.

    With the speed you've done this one, you'll have done a third by the time I do this post.
    I make things, I just take a long time.

    I spent the last 8 days sanding the chair. (80 grit, 120, 220, 400 then 800) Today I put a coat of thinned polyU as sealer. When it is dry I will sand the whole chair to silky smooth then apply the oil finish.

    Mr. Wong, I can't get your attachments to open.

    Working now, don't know what the problem was.
