Dear Peter,
Your rocker is a real beauty. I am a furniture restorer in Israel and have a lot of experience working with Danish cord. We are also the local importers of Daish cord in Israel. May I suggest that you shape your rails with a slight rounded finish. This way the cord will hug the rails and give you a much tighter finish on the rails. If you don't want to round the rails you can stretch a double row of the same cord and staple it into the centre of the rail (horizontally). This will raise the cord in the centre of the rail and give you a tight hug on the rail.

I hate lending my precious tools. They never come back in the same condition and that makes me never want to do it again.
