Quick Poll

A Maloof RockerSam Maloof was an inspiration to many woodworkers.  Whether citing his humble beginnings, the organic lines of his projects or the joy he felt while in the shop, woodworkers have found few better examples to emulate than Sam.

His rocking chairs, regular chairs, tables and other pieces have caught the attention of collectors and museums around the world.

While his works are absoutley gorgeous, some woodworkers might see his projects as too involved, too challenging or just not their style.

This week, in honor of Sam, I’d like to know if you have ever built a Sam Maloof inspired project, and what you thought about the piece and the process.

Have you ever built a Sam Maloof inspired project?

    While the Maloof style is outstanding to say the least, it doesn’t fit the rest of my furniture and my time schedule would be blown away trying to attempt one of these.
