Some friends gave me free reign to create two matching rocking chairs–given some specific dimensions.<\/p>\n

I’d been hankering to work with complete slabs of wood ever since the wood slab light fixture<\/a>.\u00a0 I found a great, concave slab of cottonwood that I thought would be awesome as chair backs. Then the vision just developed from there.<\/p>\n

The chairs were just finished with oil to keep their character as natural as possible. The thought that guided my work was to have the feeling of “being hugged by a tree”, so I left as much raw edge on the wood as possible.<\/p>\n
