When i was a child my parents had a rocking chair which was completely made of bent stakes (willow i guess). it was comfy as fuck.

does anybody have experience making them? should i just start bending some stakes and knotting them together with wire or is there some secret magic i should consider before experimenting?

it looked kinda like the one in the pic but the rocking feet or how they are called were also bent stakes.

Steam softens the staves to a point of usability. Once they're soft you bend them into shape and let them cool & dry so they hold. Then you can use fine nails and banding to hold the furniture together.

there was a chair thread soem days ago but it's already archived so I'll ask here.

i am in the progress of replacing the gas cylinder/spring on my comfy office chair.

does anyone know what exactly the difference in shape is for in these things?
picture related, I am talking about the thinner lower part. in some parts the lower thin part is longer, in soem it's not there at all.
