I was going to go on the 21st of this month when Sam was to speak at the Riverside Art Museum where his work is on display. I went today. Looking, touching, and lounging in his work is quite an experience. I got lots of pics. Here's a few.

That is not furniture it is just out and out art.

He was so good and that stuff look just awesome.

You are very lucky to be able to see it and touch it....

The scale on some of the stuff is awesome. Here's a communion table, cross and a lectern(?). The cross pieces are round and about 5 inches or so in diameter.

It must be awesome to actually touch and sit in some of his furniture. The man was a true artistic genius.

Where is this exhibit at? I did a google search and couldn't come up with anything. I am heading to the OC for a month and think that this should make a great stop!

Glenn, no one has asked the ultimate question - so, when are you going to replicate some of Sam's pieces?? A trip like that would have to inspire one to make an attempt. Maybe start with the Hal Taylor rocker plans??

I have to admit I am possessed by the urge to move some of my mahogany out of the way and bring in a bunch-o-walnut. I've always used walnut for smaller projects like boxes or frames. The exhibit definitely opened my thinking up to larger possibilities.

On my honeymoon (1976 - Honolulu), that cradle was on display at some gallery we visited. I was totally fascinated with its design and workmanship - still fascinated with it.

Another pic as a consolation prize then. This chair screams 1960's at me but was dated 2005.
