Big Hopper Outdoorsman Registered: 04/02/08 Posts: 64 Loc: Midlothian, Tx.	I do a little woodworking in my spare time, and I've decided that my next project is going to be a very large wood rocking chair for the outdoor patio. I've seen a few of them, but I'm having trouble finding plans, or even and example that I can copy. There are some at a church camp in Glen Rose that would be ideal, except some of the parts they are made from are 2 X 6's and obviously "milled" to shape. I only have common woodworking equipment. I'm talking about a really large chair. Like for a 300# - 400# guy. Not that I AM that large, but the bigger the better. Anyone seen anything like that? _________________________ I'm glad there are wine drinkers in this world ..... it saves more beer for the rest of us. Hopper

I've seen a lot of good woodworkers at Canton First Monday with some beautiful chairs. _________________________
