This is was one of the most challenging woodworking projects I have done yet, which resulted in some of my best work to date. After working through multiple prototypes to make the perfect design for this rocking chair, I used traditional mortise and tenon joinery and am more than happy with how the rocking chair turned out.
Made entirely of Sapele and accented with square peg and bowtie spline made of Wenge, this rocking chair woodworking project will be a highlight piece in my living room for a long time!

Some youtubers would make a 7 part series out of a chair like this. Kudos for the timelapses.

Yes thank you, it is so hard to sit and watch the entire build. Some of us are way past that and this was about perfect time wise. Over production is a YT disease.

and here here to that comment. some of the people who make stuff and post it to ut dont realise how boring it is listening to a lot of waffling comment and useless machine or wood cutting and metal drilling. so to The Samurai Carpenter your video is excellent. bried, informative and entertaining
Very nice work, I can say that I think your best work is flowers for Flo . This is up there on the list .
Greene and Greene meets Sam Maloof. Very beautiful work! Love that guilty look at the end when you got caught.
This just bumped your reverse live edge dining table as the best build I've seen. Your talent is completely in a league of its own.
It's Friday evening here in the UK, got myself a cold beer I'm going to chill and watch the master at work! Cheers! Beautiful work as always.

Checking in From right in the middle of France, it is sunday night and I am enjoying a nice and cold pint, watching the samouraï's art. Be saluted.
Beautiful chair - but I can think of two of your items which I prefer. The URN was positively amazing and so so touching. Also the jewellery box you made for your darling wife was truly spectacular. Thanks for the vid mate.
Very nice !!! I really like the inclusion of the Dutchmen that adds both a structural and aesthetic quality to the piece. You are indeed a true 'maker'. My late father was a master cabinet maker and I am sure he would have approved.
Turned out beautiful
I am not a woodworker but found this to be incredible enjoyable to watch. I am now wishing one of my sons loved carpentry as I would love to have a chair like this.

I love watching all your work. My favorite part about your work is there no nails or screws, its all jointery. Seamless jointery. It inspires me to do the same. It just looks so much better.
Very nice beautiful and awesome extraordinary work 😀 👏 👌
Very beautiful rocking chair. A heirloom to pass down to your children. Stay safe and happy woodworking.
Man, Gods gift to woodworking. You never cease to blow my mind. I've been with you since "Risen" woodworks. Your work is always so inspirational. There is nothing you are afraid to tackle. Stellar craftsmanship.
Looks like a fine rocking chair. Hope your family enjoys it for many years.
This is not a rocking chair.. This is a chair that rocks! Holy moly...
Very beautiful piece of craftsmanship that will in all likelihood stand long after we're gone; one of those masterful and practical pieces that reflect the best of who we are as people in this time. Thanks!
GREAT DESIGN , GREAT WOODWORKING
Awesome! That will last many generations!
Beautiful Chair, Mr Samurai
Absolutely beautiful! Love every detail. Hit it out of the stadium
Don't know if it is your best, but it is awesome.
Prolly the nicest rocker I’ve seen. Since my grandfather told me as a child that the rocking chair is the most difficult piece of furniture to build it has been on my “Bucket List” to design and build, and sit on my front porch drinking an adult beverage and watching my neighbors.

uh oh...I wanna hand make one....for my first project. Why do I always choose the very hardest thing to learn a new hobby with.
LOVE those bowties! I've never seen them used that way before.
Just stunning
Show off .... Looks awesome 👌🏴
Muy bonita le quedó la cilla mesedora saludos cordiales desde costa Rica Pura vida 🇨🇷
best samurai video in years. Well done
I think you've every right to feel proud of this work. It's exceptionally good.
It’s the most beautiful rocking chair I’ve ever seen. I am not a fan of drama and fanfare so I really enjoyed this video just a high quality craftsman making wonderful sturdy furniture.
I think i saw all your videos. Maybe one of your best work, a lot of skills and tips
A big thumbs up from the UK, top man in my book 👍
Great video, fantastic workmanship ..........well done hope it brings you many years of happiness
Really lovely chair and video. I always enjoy watching you combine traditional and modern techniques as you work. They're really not so different, just different tools. The result is always something special. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful!
Stunning work a joy to watch you work
That’s a super chair, I like the look of the turbo plane, it seems a very useful shaping tool, and quick too!
Always a treat when you upload one of your videos Samurai. Thanks for sharing
I noticed 22 didn't like your work, they must be those that do their woodwork via a computer CNC, this was pure skill, your a young fella, just imagine the work you'll be doing at my age 70, you will still have that rocking chair, you built it to last. Goodonyamate Cheers
Hi senseï, thank you so much fornyour dharing , mood, attitude, and passion you brought in ypur vids...bi was so much in awe ...but the most overwhelming one, waw the urn for your child friend...som much caring, and love, translate into an amazing wood piece....you re more than a samouraï. Bravo
Watching as your chisel eats through material always lighten me up in the gray days, thank you for your beautiful work!
Very well done great design and execution
You make it look so easy Jesse, that's the sign of a true craftsman. I met Sam Maloof in California when his woodshop was still down the road from where the compound is now, they move his whole compound thats on the national registry because of the highway coming thru. His Rocker is world famous. Jesse, you are in his league. Your craftsmanship on all you build is extraordinary! Keep building, keep imagining, and keep pushing your limit, we all want to watch what you are doing next
That's a mighty fine looking chair you got there boy........nice!
Well done Samurai
Dude, it looks so organic, it's a thing of beauty. Nice work!
Absolutely beautiful !!
More functional art. Beautiful Samurai!
Stunning. A poem writ in wood.
Best piece yet, just beautiful. My favourite is the arms connecting into the back.
Absolutely beautiful work. Thanks for sharing.
That’s sick, nice moves.
Grand Slamurai! Some of your best work indeed. This chair could sit amongst those of Sam Maloof!
Absolutely stunning
Kudos to you Samurai that is a work of art, your skills all came together on that one.
Beautiful job!
Absolutely gorgeous chair Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills
Yes! Samurai is back on track! Keep em coming!

Always awesome watching a master craftsman at work 👌
Fine job sir. Thank you for continuing to upload to KZread. I’ve learned so much over the years. Your admission about addiction, in my opinion, has been your best, most influential and respectable work. I’ve struggled with the same. You’re technique on laying out an arch has been most helpful to me. Thank you for sharing with us. God bless.
You do amazing work.
Your best ‘organic’ work!!!
OMG tthat is the most beautiful work I have ever seen.
A work of art. Well done
Beautiful. An heirloom for sure.

That is great! Gorgeous
That was beautiful.
Wonderful work! Thank you for share. Stay safe.

Wow! That is a master piece! Beautiful!
Wow! Great job. Making a rocking chair is on my list of things to do when I get better, but it's such a daunting task even for the future.
I love all of this! It makes me comfortable just to look at it.
Brilliant design details, amazing execution.... don’t smoke. We want you and your talent around for a long time.
This is all kinds of good. Well done
