Maloof is still so excited about his work....it is amazing! He works 6 days a week making furniture. He still does all the rough shaping using the bandsaw and rasps...he does all the assembly of every piece. His three helpers do the finer shaping, "hardline" and finishing which takes about 3 weeks on a chair. Sam drives a Porsche....and had it up to 135 MPH....his wife says he is a great driver and never worries about him...I really need to do that when I am 90 !
Sam said he really hasn't worked in 60 years! He never considered what he does as work, because he loves it! " Not many people can say that they really love their work" That is truly amazing after all these years...he still so excited and it comes through in has conversation..... It makes me think of my signature..."All great work starts with love....then it is no longer work"....for Sam it is his life and his fountain of youth
