Timber
What it means to cut a tree
by
George Nakashima
This excerpt from George Nakashima’s book The Soul of a Tree illustrates and discusses Nakashima’s relationship to his material and how his furniture evolves in the subjective organic sense. He’s concerned with the active process of bringing objects into being, not for the sake of what they become at the end of it all, but for the sake of the work itself. As he writes, every tree, every part of each tree, has only one perfect use. His creative vision conjures opportunities lost in ages past and how to realize the potential of great timber before you today. From Fine Woodworking #32
