This is was one of the most challenging woodworking projects I have done yet, which resulted in some of my best work to date. After working through multiple prototypes to make the perfect design for this rocking chair, I used traditional mortise and tenon joinery and am more than happy with how the rocking chair turned out.
Made entirely of Sapele and accented with square peg and bowtie spline made of Wenge, this rocking chair woodworking project will be a highlight piece in my living room for a long time!

Some youtubers would make a 7 part series out of a chair like this. Kudos for the timelapses.

@axegrinder3746 3 года назад

Yes thank you, it is so hard to sit and watch the entire build. Some of us are way past that and this was about perfect time wise. Over production is a YT disease.

@traktorworks3200 3 года назад

and here here to that comment. some of the people who make stuff and post it to ut dont realise how boring it is listening to a lot of waffling comment and useless machine or wood cutting and metal drilling. so to The Samurai Carpenter your video is excellent. bried, informative and entertaining

Greene and Greene meets Sam Maloof. Very beautiful work! Love that guilty look at the end when you got caught.

Very nice work, I can say that I think your best work is flowers for Flo . This is up there on the list .

@rickpatterson5101 3 года назад

This just bumped your reverse live edge dining table as the best build I've seen. Your talent is completely in a league of its own.

@budwoodman1716 3 года назад

Very nice !!! I really like the inclusion of the Dutchmen that adds both a structural and aesthetic quality to the piece. You are indeed a true 'maker'. My late father was a master cabinet maker and I am sure he would have approved.

@Megadoculous 3 года назад

Beautiful chair - but I can think of two of your items which I prefer. The URN was positively amazing and so so touching. Also the jewellery box you made for your darling wife was truly spectacular. Thanks for the vid mate.

@justinvellier1698 3 года назад

I love watching all your work. My favorite part about your work is there no nails or screws, its all jointery. Seamless jointery. It inspires me to do the same. It just looks so much better.

Fine job sir. Thank you for continuing to upload to RU-vid. I’ve learned so much over the years. Your admission about addiction, in my opinion, has been your best, most influential and respectable work. I’ve struggled with the same. You’re technique on laying out an arch has been most helpful to me. Thank you for sharing with us. God bless.

@darrylbuckett5380 3 года назад

I noticed 22 didn't like your work, they must be those that do their woodwork via a computer CNC, this was pure skill, your a young fella, just imagine the work you'll be doing at my age 70, you will still have that rocking chair, you built it to last. Goodonyamate Cheers

You make it look so easy Jesse, that's the sign of a true craftsman. I met Sam Maloof in California when his woodshop was still down the road from where the compound is now, they move his whole compound thats on the national registry because of the highway coming thru. His Rocker is world famous. Jesse, you are in his league. Your craftsmanship on all you build is extraordinary! Keep building, keep imagining, and keep pushing your limit, we all want to watch what you are doing next

Prolly the nicest rocker I’ve seen. Since my grandfather told me as a child that the rocking chair is the most difficult piece of furniture to build it has been on my “Bucket List” to design and build, and sit on my front porch drinking an adult beverage and watching my neighbors.

WOW! Absolutely gorgeous!!. Watching you reminds me of a young Sam Maloof and the high quality of work that he put into his chairs. The choice of woods is spot on and a beautiful contrast especially after you put the wax(?) on it. Now, you will have to make one for each child for that day they are old enough to have a family of their own. The perfect chair for rocking a baby to sleep.
