About John White
Designed by an Engineer. Made by a Craftsman.
I’m John White, and for over 30 years, I’ve combined my training as a Mechanical Engineer with a deep love of woodworking. That unique combination allows me to create furniture that’s not just beautiful – it’s engineered for comfort and built to last generations.
While I craft many types of fine woodwork, my Custom-Fit Rocking Chairs have become my signature piece. Each rocker is built to your exact measurements and signed as an Authentic Rocker by John.
