Rocking Chairs.

Following on from the last post regarding the Gr8Dundrum Run, to date we have raised almost £1,200.00 for Action Cancer and I would like to just say a few words of thanks to those who sponsored us, those who helped during our training and those who came on the day for support and encouragement. It was a great event well organised and good fun, well apart from the headwind on the beach and I’d also like to say well done to the members of the team.

Back in the shop we have been working away on several jobs and I have taken some time to gather a few snaps of the more interesting few starting with a batch of 10No. Oak tables we were commissioned to produce for a local private nursing home. Different brief to a household table as we had specific heights and access requirements to adhere to never mind the aspect of a durable laminate work surface. After approval of the mock up, our client was pleased to receive within a short lead time, delivery of the finished consignment which were put to use shortly afterwards.

Alongside this we have been finishing of a pair of Oak rocking chairs which were interesting to say the least. We made a mock up for these as the geometry involved to generate a smooth rocking motion was completely different to that we had been involved with in any previous chair production where stability is a primary design characteristic, the opposite to a rocking chair. After a serious testing I think we have established a comfortable result and are looking forward to our clients face.

Lastly we have been making a few ornamental Oak wheelbarrow planters as gift items, please call should you be interested.
