| Building the Form for the lower rails. |

| Gluing and clamping slats of wood to the form. |

| This form was used to make the back styles. |
It took about 40 hours to make this piece. To make curved pieces, I had to make forms (kind of like molds) to which I glued several thin slats of wood. Curved work is fun but presents lots of challenges. I finished this with high-gloss polyurethane and wax. It is designed to fit a 2 to 3 year old. Again, no nails or screws in the entire piece. Any metal in a rocker would just make it feel cheap. The next one should only take about half that time.
