Eg: 15" leg length would result in a 45" radius for the rocker arc.

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.
