<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 204090, member: 44"]Again thank you Brad for the advise. The rocker in the book was very much similar except for the stenciling! As bad as this rocker's structure looks in areas, it is surprising sturdy. Even the damaged arm is tight.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I was surprised mine didn't have more coats of paint. Possibly the seat cracked or the arm damaged many many decades ago resulting in it being shoved, stored, away with no need to repaint for not being used? I have the same thoughts about this rocker, it "'ain't goin' nowhere!!!'" either. Shhhh... between you, me and the fence post I care more for the rocker's welfare than for a homo sapien backend. </p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
