Born January 24th, 1916. 90 years old, and still producing amazing stuff.
Wish I could meet him sometime, but I doubt it is gonna happen. From what I've read he seems like a really fine gentleman, as well as being an amazing woodworker.
I'm about halfway through reading "Furniture of Sam Maloof" by Jeremy Adamson. It is a pretty decent biography of the man, but I do think it goes way too deep into a blow-by-blow account of some of the different craft shows/meetings he attends. I was hoping for something more like C.Becksvoort's amazingly detailed book "The Shaker Legacy". (ie: more furniture photos and descriptions!!)
Is there a better book out there that gives us a look at his different work and techniques? Hey, I just double-checked amazon and I see that Taunton is putting out a book on Sam Maloof in February!
Sam, I salute you! May you keep enjoying your work.
