This rocker began its life as a fallen tree discovered deep in the woods — a piece of hard maple that had spent just enough time exposed to the elements for nature to leave its quiet mark. Water, weather, and patience worked together to enrich the wood’s natural character, deepening its tones and revealing subtle layers of color and texture. It never reached the point of rot or spalting, but the result is a depth and warmth rarely seen in hard maple — a richness that makes this chair truly one of a kind.
From the front, the rocker presents a clean, cohesive profile, showcasing the natural beauty of the maple in a single, harmonious tone. But turn it around, and a striking contrast is revealed: the back braces feature walnut on their reverse sides, a subtle yet intentional detail that transforms the piece into a two-tone sculpture when viewed from behind.
The result is a chair that balances simplicity and surprise — understated at first glance, but full of quiet complexity the longer you look.
