Testimonials
- "I can't begin to
describe how thrilled I am with our beautiful rocking chair!!! Doug was
planning (hoping) to put it in his home office, but after seeing it I
moved a chair out of our living room to accommodate this work of art.
Fred, it is even more wonderful then I remembered-The wood on the
headrest is especially attractive!!! Thank you for the wonderful
addition to our home."Charlotte, NC
- "Yes your rocking
chair is for the US ambassador's residence. I plan to put it on the
front porch where I can rock and sit and think and rock"The
Island of Mauritius
- "There's
something about the Colonel Jackson rocking chair that makes you stop
short at Tamarack, West Virginia's showcase of art and craft work. It
looks antique, but when you sit, it's roomy---lots of space. Fred Friar
makes the chairs...You sit a bit longer in Fred Friar's chair and decide
you're downright glad you live today."Southern Living, April
2003
- "I have always
admired your work - your furniture has so much soul. I'm a Virginia
transplant to Kentucky, so I stop at Tamarack whenever I can and saw
this (Baron) rocker recently. Have to admit the Slugger rocker is pretty
darn cool, as well."Louisville, KY
