12" to 30" deep. Don't know if the term applies for this application as well. need a bit more of a set-up to attempt a chair!
Ah, something like the oak flooring the older kid gave me. LOL Should work fine. With a handle like that, no idea where you are, didn't want to ask. Designers - paugh. Not sure, think glue-lam only applies to beams.
Believe me, once those little kids are asleep you could drape them over a rock and they'd sleep. Trick is getting them to sleep in the first place sometimes. But when you do, you'll really appreciate a rocking chair for yourself. Here's a plan for one. I think it'd really look good with a shallac or varnish finish. Or stained. I'd also get a seat pad and a back pad. If you can handle a cradle, I'd think you could handle one of these.

I'm thinking of making one or two, and staining them, custom color, using very thinned latex paint.
JOAT I do things I don't know how to do, so that I might learn how to do them.
