About this Class

So, it’s time! The rocking chair is in your future, closer than it was a few years ago, and with Doug teaching this class, it is a no brainer. This chair is not a new design but rather a replica of one that has been passed through generations of Doug’s family. It is a family favorite. For anyone who loves the Arts & Crafts style, this chair will be a must for your collection. The making process will allow students to learn many technical woodworking methods, such as how to mill wood, incorporate exposed joinery including mortise and tenons, address shaping issues, assembly, clamping and finishing. From an aesthetic standpoint, the open arms and easy rocking motion are what have made this chair an American classic.

Key Points

  • Milling wood for the best results
  • Exposed joinery
  • Exploring the correct balance in a rocking chair
  • Laminate bending
  • Finishing to create an original Arts & Crafts look
  • Spending a week with Master Doug Dale
