Shaker Style Rocker
Add comfort to your home and learn some new woodworking techniques when you build this updated classic.
At first glance, this chair has an old-fashioned Shaker-style look. And while we borrowed some of the clean lines and graceful curves of the Shaker classic, we made some significant changes to the design of this rocker. We've also included a technique article on the classic woven seat feature.

Imperial Plans
The United States Customary System of Units (USCS or USC), more commonly referred to as the English or Imperial system, is the standard set of units for our plans. It uses inches and feet for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are in the United States, and it is the one we have traditionally offered on this website.

Metric Plans
The International System of Units (SI), more commonly referred to as the metric system, is the alternative set of units that we have available for some of our plans. It uses millimeters, centimeters, and meters for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are outside the United States. These plans are provided by our business partner, Australian Woodsmith, and are based on the original Woodsmith plan. However, dimensions and other elements of the plan may vary between the metric and standard versions. Be sure to double-check the plan before building.
