Tiger Maple Handshake Rocker
This Maloof inpsired rocking chair is crafted from highly figured tiger maple, the wavy surface appears almost three dimensional. The flexible back braces feature a matching spalting pattern emanating from the center. This effect was achieved by slicing a single piece of spalted maple into 2mm thin laminations and reconstructing into separate matching components. The backside of the braces feature figured walnut, providing a contrasting accent that is also repeated on the bottom of the rockers. From the stunning figure of the tiger maple to the dramatic lines, this chair is truly one of a kind.

A good handshake is firm. Solid. Secure. It can tell you a great deal about a person. Each of my Handshake Rockers is custom fit to the size and shape of the end user. Featuring flexible back braces and sculpted seats, the chairs literally mold to your body providing the firm support and feel of a good handshake
I am the epitome of a one-man shop. Everything that comes out of my shop is made 100% by my hands. I build chairs to outlive me - that is my standard. It is hard, and very time consuming, but the results are worth it.
I hope you enjoy looking at my chairs as much as I do making them. I'd love to hear from you
