A Childhood Rocker - Before

Here's a piece, again, given to me by my mother-in-law (I'm going to have to start paying her royalties!....): the rocking chair my husband used as a toddler. I have no idea who the maker was or where it was built. The seat was made of a fiberboard that had split in half, stuffed with crumbling foam and topped off with a 'lovely' 1970's brown, rust and goldenrod pattern that, you'll conspicuously notice is missing from the pictures. I didn't think there was much sense in documenting the atrocity. ;)

Anyway, I knew I wasn't decimating some treasured piece of furniture history and had no problem stripping off the yellowy-brown finish and constructing a new seat base from some extra plywood my dad-in-law had laying around.
