N2  - "In this lavishly illustrated volume, George Nakashima allows us an intimate look at his artistry, his philosophy, his life. It is the portrait of an artisan who strive to find the idea use for each plank in order to "create an object of utility to man and, if nature smiles, an object of lasting beauty."'--Dust jacket
