This is a rocking chair I made from sapele, an African mahogany. The rockers, back legs and splats were fabricated by bending thin strips onto forms. The forms were cut using my CNC router.
Tenon shapes are defined by a plywood pattern screwed to the end of the splat.
Tenons were cut using a router table and tenoning jig. Mortises in the seat and the crown were cut on the CNC.
