These three men (along with Tage Frid and James Krenov) would be considered by many to be the greatest American woodworkers of the twentieths century.  The first three each built a unique and very personal home, as shared in this book.  Esherick, the eldest of the three, created an artist’s man-cave/atelier.  A sculptor as well as a furniture maker, he displays several of his pieces in a pit dug in his main room.  Maloof created a warm and embracing home, rich with wood and light from clerestory windows in many rooms, as a loving environment for his family.  Nakashima, born in the US but working in Japan before the war, uses traditional Japanese esthetics combined with his own personal artistic eye to create a personal and wonderful adaptation of Japanese design.  Each of these homes is brought to life in this highly illustrated volume.
