My Maloof-Style Rocker Project is by far my biggest project to date, but alas it is still unfinished (as of November 2007). I fully intend to finish this – all that’s left is the final joinery and shaping. Of course, that’s still an awful lot of work… but I know I’ll get around to it one of these days!

I am in the process of trying to figure out how to build a rocking chair and am experimenting with rocker arc’s? Having made up a rough template in the garage. What radius/arc did you use for your rocker. I would love to see your finished chair, particularly the shaping part. Do you know of any good books and where I can get some basic templates. Hope you finish it – it would be a shame not to see it thru.
Regards – Peter

Correct me if I’m wrong, but to figure the rocking angle, you take the leg length or distance from the top of the front of the seat to the ground and multiply by Pi or 3.14. Eg: 15″ leg length would result in a 45″ radius for the rocker arc.
