As one of the most iconic symbols of fine furniture woodworking emerging from the American craft movement during the second half of the 20th century, this sculpted rocker’s graceful, organic curves are yours for the making thanks to the Sculptured Rocking Chair project plans by Charles Brock.

For the past 13 years, Charles has brought this project within reach for woodworkers all over the world. He has continued to refine the design and improve his methods of instruction to help ensure success for crafting one's very own heirloom sculpted rocker.
