NO. 5 CHERRY SHAKER ROCKER
At the 1876 Centennial Exhibition, the Shakers from the Mt. Lebanon, New York community were praised for combining in their chairs "strength, sprightliness, and modest beauty." The Mt. Lebanon Shakers were the first to design a line of chairs sized appropriately for those who were to use them. The No. 5 size is for average adults.
We make this Shaker Rocker from clear Pennsylvania cherry. Height of back is 40 3/4". Height of seat 17 14". Overall width 20 3/4". Depth 17 1/8".
Shown in Oil Finish; woven in 5/8" Black and 5/8" Olive/Black Stripe Shaker chair tape in a herringbone pattern.
Available as an unfinished kit, a "ready to ship" finished piece, and a "made to order" finished piece.
Kit is supplied with Oil Finish, rather than stain, to bring out the natural color of the cherry wood. On the finished version, you may select oil finish or a stain color. Please also select the chair tape colors of your choice (see below).
