This is a bamboo rocking chair that I have been working on over the last 3 years. This project started off as an idea I got when working for Laguna Bamboo. The owner always has bucherblocks laying around, and I asked him if I could have one. Which became the seat. The rest of it is from material I later purchased.
The back support stiles, arm rests, and feet are bent laminations using a vacuum press. The chair sides holding the seat are bamboo ply glued up into a chunk, then cut on the bandsaw. The chair was sculped by hand once assembled using a proxxy carver, die grinder, and a file.
The finish is deft french oil.
I wanted to point out also that my friend Neil Unger helped do some of the shaping, loose tenon mortises, and glue up in the beginning stages. He was my partner on the project but stopped helping partially through due to him moving away.
