    does anyone know anything about this chair?

    I have a chair that I'd like to know the history of. I've never seen one like it nor do I know who made it. Any help would be appreciated in identifying this chair. Thank you. If you think that I should also post this on the general woodworking forum, please advise. Photos are below:

    This is a frontal view of the chair:

    This is a side view:

    And here's an angle view:

    Finally, this is a photo of the maker's mark on the bottom of the chair:

    Thank you again.

    Thanks for the reply. I wish I could find out about the person that made it. I've never seen another one like it. It's SO comfortable, too! It's made for the human spine!

    Stephen,

    Contact this guy - www.kerryvesper.com/ - he does chairs similar to this and may know something about yours. Email him first before sending any pics and tell him you have a rocking chair in a similar construction as his work, but it's done by someone else and you would like help finding out who the Maker is. I don't know Kerry, but maybe he will be of help. Once the forums get back up at the www.furnituresociety.org you could post there and ask for help.

    If you ever find the maker, post it here. I would one of those. I am not sure that I will ever be skilled enough to make one like that.

    Earl: Thank you. I looked at that guy's site. Boy, he does some pretty work, too. Very unique for sure! I'll email him as you suggested.

    Matthew: If I found who made it, I'll be sure to post it here.

    Thanks again,
