You can still take his workshop through a local university. All who love and work wood should take it before he dies. Sam's getting up there in age, but he still make really dangerous cuts on his bandsaw. Nuts. A friend of mine, a cabinter maker, owns one of his famous rocking chair. What a beauty. I had seem George Nakashima's display at the Japenese Museum in LA once. What wonderful work of arts.
