Ma and Pa Rocking Chairs Book recommendations

I wanted to show off some beautiful work that Bryan from Maryville, Tennessee shared with me. He and his uncle run a sawmill and kiln drying business.
He built this pair of walnut rocking chairs for his parents, steam bending the legs on the larger one, and joined everything using mortise and tenons. He even upholstered them after watching a few You Tube videos.

And Bryan made this gorgeous quartersawn white oak couch.
