Walnut Rocking Chairs


The Weeks Rocker®
in walnut

$1750

We have built and shipped walnut rocking chairs to patrons on four continents.

It is hard to be taken seriously when claiming a rocking chair will be comfortable for someone who can’t sit in it.  So we don’t.  However, we have watched so many people sit in our rocking chair and have heard from so many who are delighted upon the delivery of one that we promise this;  If our rocking chair is not comfortable for you, you may return it for a full refund, including the cost of shipping.

Gary,

R. was awed!  A gorgeous work of art.  She eyed the rocker from across the room, then closed the distance slowly circling, taking in the beautiful lines and outstanding craftsmanship.  She moved the rocker into a shaft of sunlight and slowly rocked the chair watching the grain and finish of the seat — the walnut shimmered like a highly polished tiger eye gemstone.  Carefully she checked the underside of the chair and was delighted to find it signed and numbered.  Then, she eased into the chair, slowly she relaxed, and a smile crossed her face — ear to ear.  The seat was wide and full, the headrest perfect, the arms were just right for her, the edge of the seat didn't cut into her legs, and her feet were comfortably on the floor.  The chair is just her size!

Gary, you made her very happy, thank you!

I'm not sure how you figured everything out, but you did . . . the chair fits me like a glove!  R. is 5'6" and I'm 6'1".  All I can say is "It's magic"!

We love our rocker!

Thanks for everything,
D. and R.

Weeks Rocker in walnut with a walnut Otwell Side Table
Walnut wood has a classic dark brown color with purple or red casts.  Our walnut is not steamed and we do not stain it.  Steaming dulls the purples and reds.  Staining muddies the depths.  Many species of wood are stained "walnut", but nothing from a can rivals the color of natural walnut enlivened by an oil finish.

It is a challenge to match the figure of walnut into the form of the chair.  The resulting compositions tend to be slightly unruly — refined but idiosyncratic.  Character marks typically found in our walnut rocking chairs include dark mineral streaks, iridescence, and very small, tight knots.
