  I was very, very fortunate to see the traveling exhibition of his work in Seattle some years back. Utterly inspiring.

  I like that he mentioned that there's a spirit in trees and that he wants to give it a second life. I think there's probably a lot of wood workers who recognize this but not too many who mention it. There's definitely a spiritual side to wood working and George experienced it to the highest degree. Its great to see Mira carrying his torch into the future and keeping the flame burning. I was very moved by this. The Nakashima torch burns bright.

  What a wonderful person he was. I got to meet him in 1965-67 period. I grew up in New Hope area. My father and his older brother worked at restoring antique homes and movie theaters. They got George to make several pieces of furniture for them. I had a tea ceremony table made by them back in 1970. He would quick draw up a design and the workers would get to it working on what ever part he asked them to very interesting. The wood shop with all the slabs was mind numbing to see. I wish I had some of his furniture still they we had in the old farm home.

  Intro of looking up at full trees is the best view.

  It is amazing to find and listen of a woodworker who views trees and the craft as I have, yet his skill is far beyond mine. In his words and style, I find inspiration and happiness in knowing others too feel as I do.

  His work inspired me to make live edge furniture..  in three years I've only made 6 pieces.  I've kept them all
