In Words and Wood: Sam Maloof, Bob Stocksdale and Ed Moulthrop

This exhibition of woodturnings at the Sam and Alfreda Maloof Foundation for Arts and Crafts in Alta Loma, CA showcases the works of the finest woodturners of the Pacific Standard Time era. Bob Stocksdale (1913-2002) emerged as the dean of the American woodturning movement, and Ed Moulthrop (1916-2003), credited as the 'father of modern woodturning,' helped establish woodturning as a widely respected art form. It was no accident that these men shared a warm friendship in words and wood with their contemporary, America's 'Hemingway of hardwood,' Sam Maloof (1916-2009). The voluminous archives and well-catalogued objects in the Maloof collections document Sam Maloof's close relationships with Moulthrop and Stocksdale, providing a rare insight into the personal and professional joys and hardships shared among friends working in parallel professions. Sam Maloof emerges as a key player in the studio woodturning field through the inspiration and support he provided for two of its earliest advocates. In Words and Wood features more than 30 exquisite woodturnings by Moulthrop and Stocksdale, as well as recently discovered original correspondence and related documents. Together with The Huntington's The House That Sam Built the Maloof Foundation's exhibition In Words and Wood sheds new light on the role which the Pacific Standard Time era played in the modern American woodturning movement.
