Tables, desks, chairs, and cabinets from this simple workshop grace the homes and mansions and executive boardrooms of people who prize such excellence. In this lavishly illustrated volume, George Nakashima allows us in intimate look at his artistry, his philosophy, his life. It is the portrait of an artisan who strives to find the ideal use for each plank in order to "create an object of utility to man and, if nature smiles, an object of lasting beauty." The author's search for the meaning of life took him as a young man to Paris, Tokyo, and Pondicherry, India. In India, he found the inner peace for which he had been searching and began to find ways to work with timber. He writes movingly about the grandeur of ancient trees and stunning figured woods and explains how he selects and prepares his materials. Above all, he impresses us with his devotion to discovering the inherent beauty of wood so that noble trees might have a second life as furniture. The Soul of a Tree looks at the world through the eyes of an artist and evokes the joy of living in harmony with nature. Review: What.a BEAUTIFUL book! WOW - I read about this book when someone posted a quote from it on Facebook and spoke about this woodworker. I ordered it as a gift for a friend of mine who is an artistic woodworker and when I opened it I was very surprised at how stunning the book is. It's larger, like a 'coffee table' book. I highly recommend this as a gift for any talented woodworker. It can only be purchased used, it appears. I found a 'very good' copy and it is. Review: Well written - Haven't finished the complete book yet, but it is very well written and extremely interesting. Already learned a few things I did not know before. Really well written and easy to read. Love the pictures as well. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #41,471 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3 in Antique & Collectible Furniture (Books) #13 in Furniture Design (Books) #18 in Woodworking Projects (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 429 Reviews | ## Images ![The Soul of a Tree: A Master Woodworker's Reflections - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-Cbzw6LeL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What.a BEAUTIFUL book! WOW *by D***A on September 26, 2024* I read about this book when someone posted a quote from it on Facebook and spoke about this woodworker. I ordered it as a gift for a friend of mine who is an artistic woodworker and when I opened it I was very surprised at how stunning the book is. It's larger, like a 'coffee table' book. I highly recommend this as a gift for any talented woodworker. It can only be purchased used, it appears. I found a 'very good' copy and it is. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well written *by S***H on December 3, 2024* Haven't finished the complete book yet, but it is very well written and extremely interesting. Already learned a few things I did not know before. Really well written and easy to read. Love the pictures as well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful Book *by A***R on February 24, 2021* If you're a woodworker or just enjoy amazing and artistic wood furnishings, you won't be disappointed in this book. Nakashima was a true artist who put the soul of the tree in every piece he made. I purchased this for a friend who started making workbenches and other simple projects using fine woods. He loved the book, and began to think about elevating his craft to finer home furnishings. If you're looking for a coffee table book with many images of Nakashima's finished products you might want to look elsewhere. This is a book for true artists who can appreciate all of Nakashima's sketches and the story behind his beautiful works. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Soul of a Tree: A Master Woodworker's Reflections - The Art Of Japanese Joinery - Sam Maloof, Woodworker --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/5525494-the-soul-of-a-tree-a-master-woodworkers-reflections](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/5525494-the-soul-of-a-tree-a-master-woodworkers-reflections) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-08-21*
