Oil/polyurethane. Pops the cherry. It will darken w/ age of course.

Some close person will thoroughly enjoy your work and the comfort of the chair.

Just curious, why so much mass in the lower legs and rockers? They look so much heavier than the other parts, almost looks like two different chairs put together. This is more what I expect to see in a windsor rocker.

The legs of the two types are similar.

I've made rockers of the other type - I wanted to make a rocker w/ wide runners instead of the narrow knife blade ones.
