Bridgeport Rockers

Bridgeport Rockers We are a father-son team making high quality rocking chairs. Comfort is a personal realization that only the individual can appreciate.

The design I have adopted has been tested with a wide range of physical shapes. As a result I have gone a step further to modify the design. Each piece of furniture is custom and therefore it takes time in its creation. I will not take rush orders as it may compromise my work. My personal standards of quality are based on doing my best at every junction and not take short cuts. Each item is a crea

tion and one that requires great care and skill. I owe that commitment to all of my clients and will not waiver from that standard of quality. Each Rocker has its wood selected for color and grain. In working with the wood, countless hours of fine detail fitting, sanding and shaping takes place. My Rockers feature a sculpted locking mortis and tenon jointery, sculpted surfaces, flowing intersections, subtle curves and a finish to delight the hand and eye. After all the work is completed, each Rocker is signed, dated and numbered for its authenticity. Multiple coats of tung oil are applied by hand over a seven day period with a light buffing using 0000 steel wool between coats. In all it takes about 150 – 200 hours to complete. I take pride in my work because this type of furniture will be around for a long time.

Got to spend some time in the shop today. On the front legs it was sanding and getting the profile close for the glue up. I did a lot of seat contouring thought I would try to get some done before it becomes a 21 x 21 piece and a pain to move around to grind and sand. The router work is 90% done for the fit of the back legs to the seat. I’ll finish up on the table saw then shape up the back legs. Getting closer for the glue up.

Got the seat all shaped and will set the legs tomorrow (Monday). Backslats are sanded and ready to round over. The arms are next plus need to cut the strips for the rockers. Should be enough to do before I head to N.C. for the 2 day USAC Midget race. Hope to see some of you there.
