Bob Adams was on a Masonic Village Travel Club trip to Vermont in September 2023 when he saw a rocking chair he decided he could build. He performed an internet search for the design and found it. The photo shown is the result of his enthusiasm for the project. His rocking chair has since been purchased by a resident, who is very happy to have Bob’s creative work in their home.
We have many other unique creations for sale in our showroom. Come and visit us if you have a need for a project made from wood.
