Woodzie perfects his wooden rocking chair

Vaughn Wood, Woodzie to his friends, has spent the past few years perfecting a
wooden “stress relieving” rocking chair.

Wood said while he calls them an agricultural stress relief implement, they’re
really a rocking chair with a cultivating tine.

“A cultivating tine goes in a cultivator, it’s like a spring tooth harrow tine which is
pulled through the ground for plowing and I’ve put it upside down and
mounted a chair on top of it.”

He said that he had always wanted to come up with his own rocking chair design
and it was his own idea to use the cultivating tine.

Wood comes from a dairy farm and says that’s one of the places he got the idea.
He also wanted to make something more durable to withstand some more
“aggressive rocking”.

The chair which Wood said doesn’t look appealing to everyone, is surprisingly
comfortable.

Fieldays visitor, Sonja Adams agrees.
“I don’t know if it’s more comfortable than a lazy boy, but it’s close,” she said, “It
molds to your back so it might actually be better.”

Tracey Haskell has had one of the chairs for a few years and said she loves her
one so much that bought her father one after a knee operation.

“It could be a little odd looking, but it’s so, so comfortable.
