Default Maloof Chair Backrests

Thanks for the links! Interesting articles, even though they
contained no revelations of his woodworking techniques.
Nevertheless, they were a refreshing look into the life of what
appears to be an exceedingly fine and generous gentleman.
A National Treasure indeed - not as much for his furniture, but his
philanthropy.

I have had a chance to chat with both of the authors shortly after they had
returned from their visits to Maloof's shop in California (one even got him
to autograph a copy of the magazine for me). In each case the guys were as
impressed with Maloof's humility as they were with his craftsmanship. One
or both of them occasionally visit the wreck so it is possible that he might
be able to provide the details you were seeking about Maloof's methods.
