Larry Hagan cuts pieces for rocking chair on a band saw. Larry is the third generation of chair makers.


Stepping into the Hagans’ shop, the


clean, sharp scent of cedar is every- where. Cedar rocking chairs sit in neat rows, cedar chair parts are lined up on racks and cedar shavings are underfoot. Walter, standing at a lathe, cuts a block of wood with a chisel, shavings flying and landing at his feet. As usual, his loy- al dachshunds, Coco and Chloe, are close by. The Hagans can fulfill almost any


custom order, but rocking chairs have proved to be popular over the years. They make rocking chairs of all sizes, from immense 8-foot-tall giant chairs,
