Hemp woven rocking chair

This is the most comfortable rocking chair ever! Ok, I built it a while ago, but it is never too late to publish it. I really love that it was entirely made (except for the rockers) from one giant board of fir very thick at one end and very thin at the other, all edge grain with the heart in the middle.
Really, it was a rejected board, useless for construction, but also too good. I saw the potential.
Finally, I weaved the back, seat and bottom, that can be use as a magazine holder, with a thick hemp rope. Honestly, I put way too much of it. It looks good, but it took about 25 hours to weave and just half of it would be plenty.
