This beautifully refinished nursing rocker came into the workshop just after the Victorian Rocker that many of you have been watching the repair updates on. The white paint was stripped off it when its owner was in high school and now he’s retired he is getting around to having what used to be covered with a piece of wood returned to its original cane. It has been the perfect project to have as a counterpoint to the curlicues and restaining as those processes needed long periods between each step as curls or stain dried.
The front corners on this chair were unusual because there were not any holes. So the weaving gave a nice fish-tale image and, when the binding cane was complete, a neat diagonal corner, which I liked.
This is what is more common.
