an exceptional young man (toddler, actually) of my acquaintance has a lovely grandmother and mother who asked me to put a finish on this rocking chair for him as a christmas gift.  please don’t tell him, it’s a suprise.  it arrived unfinished, and now i hope will make a charming addition to his already darling nursery.

(p.s. to owen: no worries if you decide to see how the chair tastes…mrs. jones used only non-toxic acrylic products for you.)
