Since we'd spoke of swings and rockers, recently, I thought I'd pull out a =
rocker frame I assembled many years ago. I cut the backrest's heart-shaped=
contour off, to make a different one. Have the rocker (arc) stock glued t=
ogether. The arms are made of pecan... didn't have any red oak that wide.=
Might finish it by spring time.

We call her Mamma Gator. In that pic, she happens to be in the open rice f=

more than one mamma, back there. Each year, we always see several family'=

i recall from previous posts that you have a big supply of material
is it possible to have too much wood for projects
i suppose but it lowers the cost to produce things when you already have
material on hand especially when it was acquired at little to no cost

You've got some real nice live edge timber there. Lot of timber around
your place? I did notice that your property is protected by your pet
gator. What's his name? :)
