Re: grandfather clock

Looks really nice Dave. I just finished my first one a couple weeks ago. It's not as fancy as yours but I plan on making my next one more elaborate. Did you turn the spindels yourself?

Re: Sam Maloof: 1916-2009

This is truely a sad day for the Maloof family and wood working community. Sam touched so many lives during his life and has been an inspiration to all wood workers. He may be gone in body but his spirit, inspiration and impact he made on the wood working community will live on forever. He is a true icon and his legacy will live on long after we are all gone.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Maloof family.
