Bark Included Oak Rocking Chair

Bark-Included Oak Rocking Chair

Experience timeless comfort and natural artistry with our Handmade Bark-Included Oak Rocking Chair—crafted from exceptionally rare, bark-included North American oak and built to endure for generations. The inclusion of bark within the grain is a naturally occurring phenomenon, preserved intentionally to highlight the organic origins of the wood. No two pieces are ever alike, making each rocker truly one of a kind.

This handcrafted rocking chair includes:

• Time-honored joinery techniques, including exposed through-mortise-and-tenon and bent laminated rockers for strength, elegance, and lasting structure

• Hand-shaped arms and slatted back, blending Arts & Crafts tradition with modern sculptural detailing

• Premium leather seat and down-filled back cushion, offering a plush, supportive sitting experience wrapped in rich, natural materials

Built in our New England workshop by master furniture maker Tommy MacDonald, this heirloom-quality piece is as much a functional chair as it is a celebration of rare wood and craftsmanship. The bark-included oak, selectively harvested and meticulously worked, brings forward the untamed character of the forest—raw, refined, and completely unique. It is a material seldom seen in fine furniture, making this rocking chair a true collector’s treasure.
