Title: George Nakashima
Post by: stumpy on June 12, 2010, 05:37:41 PM
I was talking to someone the other day(I don't remember who) and he was taling about a craftsman that does work similar to Nakashima.  All I know is he is dead and he had a three part name.  Anyone know??? ???

There was another guy in eastern Pa. that did very original work, and his house and shop are now open for visitors via the local historical society. I forget his name though, his work was more organic and sculptural.

There are great books available (with lots of pictures) about these guys.  I have a couple on Sam Maloof and a couple on Nakashima.  I have one in my "shopping cart" about Esherick too.
