I know this is an old thread, but…
I recently made a Sellers Home Rocking chair from oak bought at a local timber yard, and the wood cost me over £400 (there’s a picture of this on the latest WMC gallery news). A made that chair for a friend, so had to sell it on.I decided to make another one for myself.
Our local church has been selling off some of its pews, and I managed to pick one up for about £60. I have managed to salvage enough timber from that to make another Rocking Chair, which is still work in progress currently but is going well. This is not oak, but west African Abura wood. It’s much finer grained than oak and easier to work, but also not as strong. I think it will come out well, fingers crossed…
