A tribute to some Mid-Century Furniture Masters - Submission for Yin-Yang LJ Awards - This is a project that I sourced wood from 2 different locations in Cincinnati, OH. The first was from a local Sawyer here in town that let me pull through his supply of 10/4 and 8/4 walnut. The other was from...

I have another Grandchild due November 6th 2014 and wanted to make something special for him/her and Mother to share and maybe to eventually be passed down as he/she grows older. Several years ago I attended a Maloof Rocker Seminar and had the opportunity to sit in an original Maloof Rocker...

So here's my 2nd attempt at a stool, I made the first out of hickory a week ago. This one is walnut and cherry, I'm saving to rest of my 8/4 walnut for two stools for the kitchen. I didn't have enough walnut for the seat so I threw some cherry in there and also used cherry on the legs I'm almost...

Here are a pair of custom wooden Maloof style bar stools we have recently adapted from our Contemporary Bar Stool we build. We basically removed the arms, but it's all in the details which needed to be adjusted for style and strength. We have cut the top of the front legs off and sanded them...

I've been woodworking almost a year now and ran across a Sam Maloof video on YouTube and was fascinated by the man and his work. We needed (wanted) two new stools in our kitchen. I've done two versions so far until I settled on this design. I wanted a flowing design so the legs have a nice arch...

Have been making two of these. Its really quite fast; it took me only about 1,5 years… (more due to other engagements as a father of two etc. than just the complexity of the project). Finally the first one is completely finished. The second one is behind by one day of sanding & the 4-5 coats of...

Inspired by the works of Sam Maloof. I have been wanting to design and build something like this since I first was exposed to this style of building. Luckily an opportunity presented its self when I was commissioned to design 4 kitchen island stools. Constructed out of Ash and dyed black...

FINALLY! The day has arrived when this rocking chair is moving out of my shop and into my office (it's temporary home). This has been a weekend project for sometime now and has sat in my shop while other projects took hole. But finally I got around to finishing it and the results are AWESOME...

After seeing the Sam Maloof video I wanted to make this.Its a fun project to make,but its harder to make than it looks.

well my number one bucket list project is finally done after several months of stop and start,i only worked on it when i was totally in the mood.this chair is made from charles brocks plans videos and full size templates.i stayed true to maloofs style for the most part but sculpted to my own...

These two chairs were made for a retired Air Force Lt. Col. and wife. Both chairs are made with quarter-sawn oak and walnut. I like the way the flakes in the quarter-sawn oak turned out.

This is my first project I have posted on here. I am relatively new to this site and have been working on this rocker for some time now. I am a PhD student, so I have only been able to dedicate 1 day/weekend to working on this chair. I made two Maloof style rockers in 2012 for my sister and...

I designed this Maloof inspired rocking chair creating my own templates as needed. It is made of walnut and has some maple highlights and sports a sapphire leather cushioned seat. On this one I decided that I wanted to make one with a cushioned seat. The seat frame started as a 3 inch wide...

Here's a rocker I just completed using Scott Morrison's plans. Scott, primarily known for his Maloof inspired rocker, also has plans for this guy. My goal is to eventually build a Maloof rocker but wanted to first gain some confidence by completing this. I will speak very highly of his plans and...

Kudos to the Woodwhisperer! My 1st end grain cutting board made of Purpleheart and Hard Maple. Many more to come.

I'm happy to report I have had the first student through my build your own sculpted rocking chair course that I have started to offer. Camerons Rocking Chair built By Cameron Martin from Canadian Black Walnut and some very figured Birdseye Maple. The seat and back braces show Birdseye Maple...

Everyone is a king or queen in their own right and deserves a throne … so I made one for myself:) I am the king of my castle! I wanted to show my wife that I weild power and authority. She saw me on my throne and said "ya ya ya but be sure to sell it after you play with it" :( Wood used is...

Watching Sam Maloof's documentry even before YouTube days planted the seeds of woodworking. It took many years before the seeds were watered to germinate. The man is an inspiration. Goal is to build a Maloof inspired Rocking chair and I thought this Sculpted table would be a good start. The...

This is a departure from my usual work; and is intended more as an exercise in utilizing shop-scraps. Perhaps the most expensive foot stools ever made. I recently upgraded my shop's main equipment, and needed a non-commission focus for the get-acquainted period with my new equipment - I...

Completing a Maloof inspired rocking chair has been on my to-do list for about 18 months now and I purchased the walnut for it about a year ago. I'm giving this one to my son. I have built two other rockers so far; one based on David Haigs dream rocker and the other based on Charles Rohlfs...
