Shaker Rocking Chairs
made in maine by s.timberlake
Allow 16 - 24 weeks for delivery
Shaker Rocking Chairs and Dining Chairs have been built in our Bethel,Maine workshops for over forty-two years. Our rocking chairs are made from native hard maple and select Pennsylvania cherry. We also make on "special order" reproduction Shaker rockers in curly and birdseye maple as well as Indiana walnut. We custom build our Shaker Rocking Chairs so there are many options in size and arm styles. The rocking chairs pictured below all feature arms with "mushroom" caps, originally utilized by the Shakers to hold the arm on the front post tenon. A"gooseneck" arm style is also available for an additional charge.
