This chair is a modern fusion of an Adirondack chair and a rocking chair. It's a bit of a low rider, which makes it a little tough to get in, but once you do, it's so comfortable that you won't want to get out of it. I made a pair of these for my parent's patio and they're frequently put to good use for late-night chats around a fire pit. How much the chair will rock depends on the curvature of the runners. I'll be posting an updated template in the future that has a more dramatic rocking shape.
