Holy smokes. Master California studio furnituremaker Rick Pohlers created this rocking toy for his own kids in the 1970s. It's carved cherry with a leather seat, and features Northwest Coast Indian-style detailing on both sides. It's not huge, either, just 3' long, toddler-size, really. Just incredible, even if you don't think about how fast the kids must have outgrown it.
