The Woodworkers

We hope you enjoy this intimate glimpse into the life of George Nakashima Woodworkers and the work of the Nakashima Foundation for Peace.

These interviews of the staff are the first step into the future of Nakashima’s, recognizing that it is the spirit and hands of the woodworkers who have made things happen from the very beginning. Their dedication to the creation of beauty, their deepening understanding of the wood itself, their ever increasing woodworking skills, the refinement of design on the workbench with its unending surprises set the work apart from the rest of the world.

Each team member brings a different gift to work. Some have worked in construction, others have studied art, and some have crafted furniture in other places, but all are unified by a shared love and respect for George Nakashima’s work, design approach, and way of life.
