RICK HELMS WOODWORKING

BLACK WALNUT MALOOF-INSPIRED SCULPTED ROCKER

 

 

Sam Maloof was an amazing craftsman. Without any formal training, he revolutionized the process of building carved/sculpted rocking chairs.

Today, building a Maloof-style rocker is on just about every woodworker's bucket list.

I'll be building using a process taught by woodworker Charles Brock. It involves complex marriage joints, power carving, and meticulous hand sculpting of the wood to make the smooth flowing lines that distinguish the Maloof style.
