Sun oven

It's a bit goofy, very heavy and big, but it works. It get hot to 275-300 F on a sunny day and it cooks. Perfect for slow cooking.
It was a nice experiment anyway.

I called it Melodie.
I love it and it's very comfortable. I spent so much time on it, not rocking, but carving. It hard to see the details on this picture, but I know one thing, I will probably never carved maple again. The entire thing is maple, Big Leaf Maple. Local Wood.
I am particularly proud of the conceptual structure. Notice the continual line that forms the seat, rockers, harms and back. Every arch consist of 21 layers of laminated 1/8 " maple strip. All glued, rounded and painted. This picture doesn't show the delicate golden sprinkles added over the green paint. It is a very charming touch.
