tourmalineDay 96 I don't usually post the bigger size pics but you wouldn't see this one at its best otherwise. My Dad made this for the grandkid-to-be when he/she's about two years old:
Isn't it awesome? The runners can be removed so it can serve as an ordinary chair. It's such lovely wood, the grain shows up really well. I can picture the scene already: The London Olympics is on TV, the family gathered on the sofa & chairs at my sister's place, kidlet on the rocking chair to the side of everyone, rocking back & forth slowly, then my mother or my sister telling kidlet to PLEASE STOP ROCKING LIKE THAT because it keeps catching the corner of their eye & it's annoying. Kidlet smiles & carries on rocking because he/she takes after their mother who did annoying stuff like that as a small child (& still does).
