Solid stock, freehand cut on a bandsaw He has templates
for everthing he's made more than one of. There's a
video "Sam Maloof Woodworking Profile"
ISBN 0-942391-26-8, from Taunton, that goes
through the making of one of his rocking chairs,
inlcuding the joinery, which you may want to
find and watch.(Taunton's number is 1-800-
888-8286 if you can't find it).

Thanks for the info - our library doesn't have it. :-(
Every video is another chunk of wood or tool I won't be getting. ;-)
I do subscribe to FWW magazine, however - they had a recent blurb
about Maloof but nothing useful about technique. I've seen video of
his shop on Modern Masters - templates everywhere.
