Had a 92 year old neighbor, who had a very large Nakashima dining table, was gorgeous.
and the table was gorgeous too, no doubt
This man sounds like a sportscaster.
indeed... i can already hear him comment the super bowl
Thanks man, I appreciate that.
I'm glad to see this comment because that's the first thing that came to mind lol
Can't say he's boring
Hereally really does and I've been thinking that for several videos of him. SPOT ON.
It's pretty interesting how simple a masterwork looks
Gorgeous table. Love his pieces.
YES...but not for a family just starting out....
I agree. It's gorgeous.
If one like that sold recently for $25,000 and this one is signed, which was rare, if I were a collector of that artist I would have paid more.
Oh dang this guy lives down the road from my grandparents!
A slice of log, a plank and 2 sticks. Terrific.
Pearls before swine.
I see an extremely beautiful table and work of art, but whatever.
wiseandgreen the painting takes serious talent to make. So does this, but not the same level of talent
@wiseandgreen you sound like a real joy to be around.. Rude douche bag
Johannes Vermeer. Just a bunch of oil paints, and some fabric. Terrific.
Did the AR appraiser forget to take into account that the man who made the table had also signed it?
Wow I'd love to own some Nakashima I have heard of his work before.
All it costs is money.
Love Nakashima
Guy sounds JUST LIKE George Michael from the Sports Machine!!!
He really does!!! Hahaha
John's jazz hands could sell anything 😂
@1:39 is like a Lord of the Rings scene with Frodo and Gandalf
2:49 hahahaha, did somebody pick up the phone and fart into the paging system?
drizzal83 Tom Green or Eric Andre must’ve been there lol
It is the sound-effect for the estimated action price going down, from 20-25 to 15-20 K USD.
Or maybe someone standing close by.
People were tossing these out in the 80's. They also tore down Frank Loyd wright houses in the late 50's. Things go from dated to collectible. Sometimes they will go for a lot of money for a little while then they plummet again. Art is odd that way.
Not forgetting the great tulip bubble and collapse
Demolishing Lloyd Wright houses is a travesty in any age
Nakashima lived around where the auction is and his house is still a tourist spot. it costs enough for me not to visit.
@Jack Money truly
Hi good day. first of all excellent program and very entertaining as well as informant; I am from Mexico and I would be very pleased if you could subtitle Spanish, please I love the content and they would make me very happy and I am sure that many in Latin America too. Thank you.
My grandmother has 3 of these a large table and a bench by Nakashima
I'm not a fan when they know what they have. And they haven't cared for it to boot. Enjoy your time on public television, Mrs. Affluent.
I lived not too far from Nakashima, I worked in new Hope Pennsylvania when he was doing some of the work that is attributed to him.
Don’t kid yourself, Nakashima at first did most of the work and then as time went on people who worked for him did the construction . I’m not saying that his hand was not in it he probably designed it he probably did some of the work so he could honestly say it was his construction. His daughter is the one who made the business actually profitable because certainly back in my days when I worked near there it was just a living for him.
This is one of the cases were all seems so fantastic and he seem like such a nice guy, but then there’s another side to him.
What was the other side?
@YT // Yes, what was the other side of him??
@@bubbles9975
Now I had no dealings with the man so besides knowing about him and working not too far from where he lived, I can only go what other people have said and I trusted their judgment because I’ve known them at that time for a few decades and now quite a bit longer. It’s the way he treated people who are not customers of his, neighbors so to speak or people that he employed to do things. He was very reluctant or slow to compensate people for their efforts. He was not exactly a guy who paid for things on time and I know of one person said he supplied some wood to him from trees on his property and was treated poorly. Now beyond that I know little. New Hope Pennsylvania is a very historic area and many famous people came from that area and because I was in the business of automobiles in many cases I got to deal with these people. I would rather deal with just common folks rather than these people who think they are better than you. I could name a few and their names are well known but they are all deceased now
@@yt650 // 😳 wow

That is how the traditional furniture trade worked. He would have done an apprenticeship, mastered the craft and then as a master craftsman would have directed the journey men on project completion.
It is the way it worked for thousands of years. It is how the next generation learn and it is how a person can get furniture that is made by somebody who is extremely old. It is how I learned from my grandfather and he from his grandfather.
Wonderful, a table but different.
I can make this piece with one hand and one eye no joke
25,000 you really nuts
Exactly what I thought, it's a makeshift stand with a piece of small slab on it 🤦
You are copying the style he was designing it. Completely different and you probably would use domino joints.
its kinda tacky.
Can you come up with your original style that people will talk about hundreds of years?
With some art i look at it and wish I had the vision and skill to do such work and others I look at them and say I could do that! This unfortunately is the latter lol
The Andy Warhol of furniture.....prints of soup cans..$125,000.
Nope.
Nakashima furniture can last for centuries. Not even close to being Warhol it is a real bit of craftsmanship that can be used.
so if I wrote George Nakashima on my bird table, I'm in the money? I'm a philistine - that's pretty cool
Am I the only one who isnt feeling it?
You might be ;)
This certainly isn't one if his best pieces in my opinion but I love most of his work. A bit of oil would do this one wonders.
I’d buy it
i'll make you one, just make sure you have the 25k
Eye of the beholder. I think that table looks ridiculous.
Is hideous.
move on. Nothing to see here for you.
@@westsideken Truly 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought it was a chair.
Did he fart at the end?
2:49 FART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It looks like a high school woodwork project.
Okay, it's a cool table, but it's not one that goes with most spaces. On top of that, this isn't hard to make. I could make a very similar table in my garage right now.
Go for it but you have to understand, he started the whole movement of using the wood's natural shapes and textures. Yours would be a poor man's copy.
"the top is architectural"....good grief. It's a live slab. Love his stuff, but people are way off.
He was the one who started the movement of using live edges and leaving the wood natural. There's a reason why is pieces are worth so much.
Seems like a 9th grade project
This is NOT a Nakashima table. This is a fake piece. A very bad copy of his immensurable art y designs. It is an insult to his legacy.
That's literally a slice of wood with two sticks holding it up. I can appreciate most everything I see on this show but I don't understand this one. I mean it's a nice piece but, it's a very small slice of a walnut tree, I could make this very easily. Am I wrong to criticize this? I mean I'm not in denial though this is a very nice piece but still, there's very little work done here
Furniture making is about choosing wood that is perfect for the job. You cannot just randomly pick up a bit of wood and put it in furniture.
When he is selecting the wood he is judging the grain, texture and how the wood behaves. People today are buying factor junk and throwing it out.
That table is 50 years old and it looks brand new think about that. It is a side table and looks beautiful.
I make hand made furniture and sell it for extremely high prices because of the number of hours it takes to produce but also because it is a personal piece which means it has detail. Now imagine furniture from an acclaimed designer that everybody desires.
@@bighands69 yeah I agree 100%, by the way I have some very cheap oceanfront property for sale in Arizona, has beautiful view
@@strongspear4269
I am a furniture maker and that is the process of craft furniture making. It is why you can find furniture that is 400 years old and is still looking great and still functioning.
You can still find stunning tudor era furniture that is still in working order.
Georgian furniture that was made by craftsmen can still look like it is brand new. Try and buy a classic porsche sports car and you will find it costs more than a house.
Short supply combined with extremely high quality means they are very expensive and Arizona has some beautiful pools.
it looks like a novice woodworker built this in his garage...pass..
ITS GARBAGE.
Only an insane Nakashima collector would pay even half of the appraisal given here LMAO!
Not surprised the appraisal given has dropped as years passed, but I must say even that drop in value is highly suspect as no one in their right mind would pay those revised numbers for this flawed piece.
It's natural to see that way.
Same with Andy Warhol in painting.
Their pieces kind of look like random stuff. I don't get it either man.
Modern art is basically like that.
Classical artists like Michael Angelo and Picasso or Da Vinci, I still get.
But art like these I can't wrap my head around.
This show is about as racist as it gets. They celebrate artist according to race and the olor of ones skin. Instead of just celebrating a person.
STFU
Charles, are you feeling ok?
He isn't a person. He was Japanese.
Even if you were right (you aren't), you think this is as bad as racism can get? Have you ever heard of slavery or genocide?
@@joerodriguez7953 Can we ever live together while the media keeps everybody divided by race, gender or sexual preference? Actually promoting racism and bias rather than equality. There has been slavery on every continent and island on earth. Get over it.
