Mars Carpenter once saw the Malov rocking chair on the Internet, and at first glance he was deeply attracted, like that texture, like that curvature, like that comfort. However, the technology has not arrived, there is no suitable wood, has not been able to achieve, after the Spring Festival there is an opportunity, say dry, immediately start construction.
The first is to choose wood, I like North American black walnuts, in order to make rocking chairs, I specially bought some black walnuts at a high price. The black walnut yield is not high, and it took a morning to select the ingredients.
The picture above is the material selected after a morning. Then there is the opening of the material, after all, it is life sharing, too professional to say more. Or take a look at the picture above.
The picture above is the wool of the seat plate, and then the grooves that are prepared to open the front and back questions in advance, and then the panel. This piece is the core of the rocking chair, the center of the rocking chair and the width of the rocking chair, all controlled by the angle of this place.
In this way, the seat surface is basically completed, and the processing can continue when the glue is dry. Then began to make foot, foot and other curves are compound cold pressed out, using many layers of thin sheets to make.
The picture above is the compressed foot, which is also waiting for glue to dry. Then there is the processing of the seat panel, the seat panel needs to be ergonomic, all kinds of curvatures need to be polished by hand, there is no fixed number, all rely on the feeling, how comfortable how to come.
I cut it out little by little, then refined it with a corner mill, and then fixed it. The front legs are round and come out directly with a lathe.
The next step is to simply assemble the armrest, polish the armrest, the comfort of the armrest, directly affect the overall comfort layer, you must be careful, while grinding while feeling it yourself.
The picture above is the handrail after grinding, so the curvature is more comfortable to use. Then there is the processing of the backrest, which requires the band saw to be processed in two stages.
Then it can be assembled in its entirety.
The difficulty of assembly lies in whether it can be tightly sewn, and the angle problem mentioned earlier can be reflected in this place, the angle is accurate, and the assembly is quite simple. Then it's about putting on the feet.
So a few books are done, the rest is fine polishing and repair, the details of this chair are very real, here is not much to say.
This is the front foot multi-processing. Then on the semi-finished picture.
The above pictures are semi-finished products, you need to verify whether the details are handled well, the black dots in the figure are purple sandalwood, in order to play a sense of contrast. The two principles I make of this rocking chair are comfort and charm. Finally, it is applied with wood wax oil, which protects the surface and highlights the natural color of the wood.
This is all the process, The little carpenter of Mars has a limited level of photography, and it feels that the color and proportion of these photos are distorted, the actual color is much deeper than this, and the pattern is clearer. The overall process lasted a month, and I enjoyed the multi-production process and really liked this work. Sam Marov rocking chair is known as the most comfortable rocking chair in the world, its production process is quite complicated, a lot of details, can not be finished in a day, which is strange, very interesting Ha.
Again, the saying goes, "There must be a job in life that does not work for a living" I like wood, I like the process of turning wood from simplicity to art.
