Featured in this lot is this Montana Lee Kern burl slab and juniper rocking chair circa 2012. The rocking chair features a wonderfully and professionally crafted burl slab and juniper construction that shows a strong firm frame of juniper that is sanded, polished, and treated to perfection with armrests and legs that connect to the rocking portion of the chair and shows two large slabs of burl with light brown coloration with misty segments of black, most likely due to fungal formations to the original specimen that shows intricate formations of spikes along the top edge of the seat back.
