I have decided to build the chair featured in the June issue of Popular Woodworking.
I have four 72"X 8"X 1" pieces of a good old Texas wood, mesquite. I bought them at
Clark's Hardwood Lumber in Houston. (The last sentence is a gloat, we can just get in the
truck and buy about any specie of wood there). I went over there yesterday.
I almost bought some 1X8 boards curly maple they have. I'll save that for another day.
This will be my second mesquite chair. About twenty years ago, Pail Sellers was at Hometead
Heritage in Waco, Texas and I attended his first two week class making the Brazos Rocker.
Google "Brazos Rocker"
The chair was made of mesquite. I watch my nightly TV shows sitting in that chair.
Check out the article, you may want to build the chair.
