    I'm wondering if anyone can tell me anything about this rocker. My first thought was that it could be hand-crafted. 20200529_151051.jpg 20200529_151059.jpg 20200529_151107.jpg

    Welcome, idavan! I'm not a furniture expert, but I will tag a couple for you.

    While we wait, I'll just say that it appears that the square of wood in the center of the seat might be a plywood replacement for some other material. If you could post a picture of that part from the underside, that might help.

    Not much hand crafting here; looks like a machine-made early-to mid-20th century rocker. I like the unusual bamboo-like stiles on the back. Value would be minimal in today's depressed brown furniture market. And yes, the square of wood on the seat is replacement.

    I agree that the seat square is an insert. I don't have a picture from underneath, but it does have small brackets that would allow removal. I like the way the legs are put into the rocker. I like that it's low to the ground. It's just a cute rocking chair.

    Looks mid 60s red maple rocker to me.

    If you are going to keep it. Get some Howard's Restor-A-Finish. I would use the Cherry (small can is all you need).
    Then finish it off with the feed and wax.
