I think this is a beautiful rocker, I too would also be interested in your patterns for this chair. You must be very proud of this rocker!

the leaves are attached to 2 oak slides that ride on the apron. they are inclined so that they rise up 3/4 of an inch. the top table top floats on 6 dowels which are attached to the center section, this allows the upper table top to float up as the leaves pull out. when the leaves pull out all the way the top table top falls down on the slides so that the leaves and the top are at the same height. If you look at my last pic it shows the slides that are attached to the outer leaves. The end of the slides are under the center leaf when pulled out all the way. So when any downward pressure on the leaf, it will be supported by the center leaf because the fulcrum point is at the apron.

Nice job, I hope to build something this nice someday. I am not sure my skill level is at this point in wood working. Very inspiring!
