"This chair is a rocking chair inspired by a young designer named Brendan Gallagher. With the aid of Auto CAD I was able to create a 1 to 1 full scale drawing which I used as a template for the curved work . The timber I used was ash with elm (in the contrast). I would like to make many more of these in the future playing with other timber combos and finishing techniques. I'm very pleased with this project especially as it’s one of my first pieces." Christopher McKimmie

"I have completed my HND in furniture at Adam Smith College and have just been offered a tutoring position with the city of Edinburgh council, teaching adults the basics off woodwork and furniture which I am very excited about. Plans are also in place to start up a small business working with fellow college buddy Gary Duffy."
