Comfy chair by the fire

The little card tells an interesting story not of just this rocker, but the cabin from which it came.

The wood of Rhododendron bushes forms many beautiful railings...this is the first time I've seen a rocker made with it.  I'm guessing the basket woven slats are from split oak.

Thanks to the Swannanoa Valley History Museum!

No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars, or sailed an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit.
