The best of both worlds: an Adirondack Chair and a Rocking Chair combined into my Rustic Pallet Porch Rocker. This took four pallets to build and about ten hours total.
How I made my best-of-both-worlds Rustic Pallet Porch Rocker:
First, I cut one pallet lengthwise and then cut that in half to make the seat part of the rocker. I removed the top boards from a second pallet, selecting the three longest and widest pieces to form the backrest. I found some old landscaping ties at a construction site that were used as dividers for shipping metal gates and cut these lengthwise. I thought they looked rustic enough to use as the legs and armrest. I cut the landscaping ties again after I got my measurements for arms and legs. I found an old heavy-duty pallet (like the ones used for heavy equipment) that had 2x6" boards as its base.
I made a template from a rocker we have at home and cut the curves for the rocker. I assembled these using a screw gun and 2 1/2" screws for heavy wood and 1 5/8" screws for lighter wood. I mitered the legs for under the armrest. I did sand the pieces as I went and then filled in screws holes with wood filler. I had sanded the filled-in areas before I painted the rocker. The total build took me about ten hours, and I used about four pallets, but I didn't have to spend any money on this project! That's always great! I'm pleased with this Rustic Pallet Porch Rocker, and hope it inspires you to build one of your own!
My mother made this beautiful rocking chair for my sister to celebrate her first child, the first grandchild in our family.

This would be my kind of place to sit for a spell, on a nice front porch with rocking chairs, overlooking some beautiful land dotted with horses. A girl can dream a little can't she?
According to my mom, this rocking chair has been in the family for around 100 years. My grandmother used to rock my mom in the chair when she was a baby, and mom fed me while rocking in the chair as well. It was painted bright blue in the 1950s by my grandma, unfortunately, and then they put a thick layer of black paint over that in the 60s or 70s that obscured the carved detail. Also, the chair was singed in a fire at some point, so when I was given custody of the heirloom in the 90s, we had it stripped and restored to our best guess at the original appearance. I know the Antiques Roadshow people wouldn't approve, but it was falling apart and now you can see the detail. It's quite comfortable, and low enough for my short legs to comfortably reach the floor. M-kitty likes to sit under it. Here she is on the left. In this view, dropcloths temporarily protect the carpet.
Hanalei: The history and charm of Old Hawai'i lingers in the north shore town of Hanalei. Its lush pastoral landscape, combined with the cultural and historic way of life, make Hanalei a place of extraordinary beauty.

Outdoors at the group home. (The rocking chair was bought specifically to give me a "socially acceptable" means of rocking.)

They had another one of these they sold at auction and the guy we spoke to didn't know the history (owner was in France last week while we were there). Never seen anything like this in the store, everything else is nice looking.
Is this not about most horrible rocking-chair that you've ever seen (although if none other available I'm sure a Poff would use it).
This rocking chair belonged to my great grandma but has gotten passed down to my grandpa. This chair was used by my great grandma to rock all of her kids. This chair was used around the 1930’s. The chair was used in Northwest Iowa. My grandpa still has this chair because it was passed down to him and it was his mom's.

Location: Gympie, Queensland
Description: This cottage garden has an arbour for climbing roses and various shrubs close to the house. The resident is sitting on the verandah reading the paper. The shade awnings are rolled up and the house's windows are ajar.
Gympie is a city in south-eastern Queensland, situated on the Mary River about 162 kilometres north of Brisbane. Gympie is the centre of an important dairying and agricultural district. In the early days timber was a significant industry.
In 1867 James Nash found nuggets of gold in the bed of a dry gully in the district and a spectacular gold rush commenced. Gympie was originally called Nashville after the discoverer of the gold. In 1868 the name was altered to Gympie, an aboriginal term for the stinging trees found in the district. The discovery of gold proved the salvation of Queensland as, at that time, the colony was passing through financial difficulties. The largest mine was the Scottish Gympie which worked at levels from 650 to over 800 metres deep, and had underground roadways exceeding 50 kilometres in length. In 1909 fifty-one mining companies were operating. A huge nugget of pure gold, called the Curtis nugget was found in the Gympie district. It weighed about 18 kilogrammes. The gold petered out in the 1920's. (Information taken from: The Australian Encyclopaedia and Explore Australia, 2003, Sydney Australia, Penguin Australia).
This photograph was taken by Edward H. Forster who worked in Maryborough and Gympie during the 1870's. Forster called his first studio 'The Panopticon'. His next studio was 'The Australian & American Portrait Co.' Forster won photography awards at the Gympie show in 1879. During the goldrush he worked as a travelling photographer but his main premises were in Adelaide Street, Maryborough. Many of these studies capture early Gympie family groups standing in front of their cottages. (Information taken from S. Barrie, Queenslanders Behind the Camera: Professional Photographers in Queensland, 1987). ca 1871
