Several years back this friend of mine and his wife were splitting up. When it can time to start selling off stuff, he had this rocking chair he and his wife had gotten as a wedding present. The first time I saw it was from about 15 feet away, through a window. (It was stored at a friend of his' house and they weren't home at the time) He was asking $50.00 for it.
I JUMPED on it, not even knowing much about it. Since then, I have learned a lot more about it's construction, and from examining it, it's plain that it was hand made by a MASTER CRAFTSMAN.
It is made out of Teak and held together with ebony dowels. The seat was originally covered with sort of a red and black weave, and it is sprung. After the seat started wearing, I recovered it with black sheepskin.
Sorry about the quality of the pics, I didn't realize how blurry they were when I downloaded them. If anyone REALLY wants better pics, LMK and I can take others.
