Rocking Chairs I Love: 14 Makers

Over the past few weeks, I've written a series of posts on contemporary rocking chairs. While not comprehensive by any means, it does show the range and quality of the rockers being made today. Here is my introductory post. And here, in alphabetical order, are the makers I featured, a photo, their websites and a link to the post in which they were featured (photo credits, if not the maker, are included in the original post):

Love some of the chairs, you need to look at David Haig. Here is a link,

Check him out, he is out of New Zealand. His chair is completely steam bent, it's just plain beautiful.

I can't believe you didn't pick one of Peter Galbert's as one of your favorites!
