easy wood projects
In the section on his website about his rocking chairs, Bill Lindau says, "I design and build handmade rocking chairs that are unlike any other chairs on the market." I agree. He also makes the very interesting point that while his chairs are influenced by the work of Sam Maloof, Maloof himself was influenced by the work of Finn Juhl and Hans Wegner. Im familiar with Hans Wegner, but Im psyched to look into the work of Finn Juhl.
Lindaus chairs are amazing, but one in particular (above and immediately below) blows me away. It is a walnut rocker with quilted maple backrests and bubinga accents. I LOVE the asymmetric back. The quilted maple backslats are positively iridescent. The seat is made with some of the most beautifully figured walnut I have ever seen. The curves on the arms rests are incredibly clean and crisp. If you have a pulse, you cant look at this chair and not be thrilled at the state of craft in America. Believe me, if I had $4,000 bucks, Id be sitting in this chair right now.
Heres another walnut rocker with plain maple backrests.
Look at the camphor burl backrests on this Appalachian black cherry rocking chair.
