Child's Rocker
(Download should take approximately 3 minutes on a 56K modem)
Kids are always in motion. It's not easy to get them even to sit down in a chair. But this rocker lets them work off energy while staying in one place. And rocking can be just as soothing for children as it tends to be for adults. Kids love it.

Children's Furniture Projects provides a mix of projects that has something for woodworkers of all skill levels. The ten projects -- ranging from this excerpt to a fanciful rocking dinosaur to sturdy children's beds -- are designed to help make the children's room as well furnished as any other room in the house.

Jeff Miller, winner of the 1998 Stanley Award for Chairmaking & Design, is also the author of Beds. A professional furniture maker and father of two, he also designs children's furniture.
