| is a one-man shop that has been creating high quality,
handcrafted furniture since 1980. In over twenty four years
of experience, I have built well over one thousand rocking chairs.
An evolutionary process has brought The Cashmere Rocker to a
climax design in contemporary rocking chairs.
My specially crafted pieces are found in
homes and offices throughout the United States in a variety
of interior environments, contemporary and eclectic alike.
My work reflects historically sound woodworking
techniques. Harvesting the best methods of past generations
trials and errors, I have gleaned the best and added my creativity
and design sense.
Construction of the "Cashmere Rocker"
requires precise bandsaw work,along with time consuming techniques
such as using hand held grinders, rasps and a variety of sanders.
If you are interested
in knowing more about the process of construction or general
shop talk I'd be happy to answer your questions.
Catalyzed lacquer is the finish I use on
my work. I have used many other finishes over the years and
have found this finish to be the most attractive both in feel
and durability. The sheen is "dull rubbed" which
has a soft sheen without extreme gloss. It is similar to the
luster achieved with a hand rubbed oil finish but is much
more durable and waterproof.
The Cashmere Rocker, was named after Steckmest
Furniture Designs original riverfront location in Cashmere,
Washington.
With well over one thousand satisfied customers,
I'm confident you will find my rockers to be in both quality
and comfort. The best rockers in the contemporary market. |
