Lack of Motivation resulted in My Sam Maloof Story

Ever have a lack of motivation to finish a project? I do and in 2008 an accident with one of my projects brought an unexpected package and encouragement from Sam Maloof.

I am really proud of the finished rocking chair. It is probably one of the best pieces I have ever made. To be honest, it never would have happened without the motivation I received from Sam Maloof himself. If you would like to find out more about Sam, visit http://sammaloofwoodworker.com. If you are interested in learning how to make a rocker of your own visit The Marc Adams School of Woodworking.
