Master craftsman Hal Taylor loves to read to his children, but when his third child, Rose, was born, he ran into a problem – his three children wouldn’t fit in his lap when he went to read to them on his rocking chair! As luck would have it, Taylor just so happens to be one of the best rocking-chair craftsmen in the world, so he created a beautiful chair that could fit all of his kids! 大师级工匠哈尔·泰勒喜欢给他的孩子们读书，但是在他的第三个孩子萝丝出生后，他却有了一个问题——他坐在摇椅上读书的时候，三个孩子不能全都坐在他的大腿上了！幸运的是，泰勒碰巧是世界上最好的摇椅工匠之一，所以他就制作了一张他的三个孩子都能同时坐上去的摇椅。
Taylor calls his masterpiece the Storytime Rocking Chair, and the hand-crafted rocker goes for between $7,000 and $7,500. On his website, he explains the exquisite craftsmanship that makes this heirloom chair cost so much!
