So we "inherited" an old rocking chair from the in-laws.
The thing is 30+ years old, been generally abused, and a few years ago
was in a flood. After the flood it was just left in a corner in the garage.
So the wife decides she wants (me) to restore it, because her mom rocked
her in it when she was a baby, and (soon) she wants to rock her own babies in it.
So anyways, here it is,

The way it was when we got it:

Stripped, cleaned up, repaired and re-assembled:

And finished , minus the cushion, wich I have to find someone to make for me:

I was going to comment on it- I like and am jealous of it. My garage floor needs a repaint.
