Back in the wood working shop….
Once the end assemblies were put together on the porch rocker, it was time to cut, shape and install the stretchers that attach the two ends and support the seat assembly itself. The stretchers are two pieces of one-inch mahogany cut 4 feet long and 2 inches wide which then have their edges routered to soften or “break” the edge. It probably took longer to do the glue up and clamping then it did to make the actual stretchers.
Ignore that yarn in the background. I don't know how it got there
There isn’t going to be much clearance between the seat and the end supports so it’s important to attach the stretchers at 90 degree angles to get the fit just right. Otherwise there might be some crying.
It’s beginning to look like more than miscellaneous parts now.
As soon as the assembled frame was moved out of the way, Jack moved on to cutting and sanding the back supports, three graceful curves of mahogany that will support the seat slats and hold them at what we hope will be a comfortable angle for sitting and rocking and relaxing. 
The project is moving along faster now. Next time: the seat slats and assembly.
It’s going to be a double rocker? Cool!
Your Jack is a truly fabulous and talented man.
What yarn? ;^)
I’m feeling relaxed just looking at the rocker in progress. Very cool.
Some stranger must have put that yarn there……
