Sam Maloof's turning friends

[Charles Bruno]

The LOML must have wanted to get rid of me Saturday, she sent me to Sam Maloof's for the day (second time she's done this). Sam Maloof & the University of California, Riverside are running a yearly series of craftsman and artist demo's and lectures. This year it was all about the spinney thing. The two guest turners were Mike Jackofsky and Matt & Philip Moulthrop. Three great turners with completely different styles of turning. Mike turns FAST; he uses a 4 jaw chuck from Australia a Vick mark I believe he said. The Moulthrop's use a face plate and only 2 or 3 gouges and only one of them is a bowl gouge. I think it's time I set up the lathe my neighbor gave me.
Sam had just came home (via In and out ) from getting a pacemaker installed!

[John Hart]

Wow...what a treat!! My wife just sends me to take out the garbage! :(

That must have been inspiring. What great work. :)

[Doug Thompson]

Maloof's work (rocker) inspired me back in the early 80's... IMO the best woodworker ever. I'm glad he setup a school to teach.

PS - You lucky dog to have a wife like yours.

Were they related to Ed Moulthrop that turned huge hollow forms? He lived in Atlanta I believe? His turning were 36" dia sometimes, all native woods too.

That looks like one of Ed's harpoons he used. ;)

When I took the workshop with Sam last Nov. I remember sitting in the Kitchen of Sams new house and Sam was showing off several hollow forms that he had on the table that were turned by one of his friends. Although Sam doesn't do much turning he realy appreaches to art form.
