    I think we're up to seven..... Two on the front porch, two on the back porch, two in the living room....and one in momma's sewing room. The one in the sewing room belonged to her grandmother....the rest, we've just accumulated over the years. Nothing better!!

    Here is our two. The one one left was a attic rescue from my grandparents. It had a missing left arm. The guy we took it to did a beautiful job, even matched the tight grain structure to the new parts. He called it a double pressed back rocker because the upper part is curved looking down on it from the top. The seat gave out since then and I put the black piece in.
    Oh great, another thread that makes me spend money.

    I also got one for my wife (ex) when the first was born. It is real nice, has a very deep padding on the seat and the back with the "wing chair" type of top/back. The rest is real good wood, and it still holds her up (I guess). I hope my kids get it when she finally cashes in................
    I remember my grandmother's sisters house had a standard hard wood with leather seat, and that got a lot of love which is why I insisted on getting her one for rocking the kids.
    my dream is to be on the front porch in the woods rocking the day away........"there's uncle Joe, he's a movin' kinda slow at the Junction"

    I have the child's rocker that Dad and siblings used ( turned over as a walker) learning to walk. The arms and top post have flats worn from being pushed across the floor.
    I also have the cane bottom rocker that Grand Maw rocked both Dad and Me as children.
    Boy do I miss the comfortable lap, that once made everything better.

    Old Mose was quite fond of his rocking chair on the front porch...

    I have my mother's old rocker. It was always near the fireplace, and you needed permission to sit in it if she wasn't in it. One of my sisters has grandma's rocker.

    I don't know a better way to quiet a baby than rocking em. It's just relaxing for both of you.
