I wonder how many pen blanks was possibly in one of these rocking chairs. You to can have one for only 35,000.

Correct... not a Maloof... but maybe better. [:0]
I've never sat in a chair that Mr Sam actually made, but I've sat in several 'copies'... and I've sat in copies of the Hal Taylor chair (like the amboyna chair pictured). The Taylor chair is much more comfortable to me, probably because of the flexible back splats. They're both very artsy, and I suspect Mr Sam would agree that the amboyna chair is incredible... whoever made it.
Being from San Antonio, you've probably seen several Maloof/Hensarling copies at shows in this area. You'll see the occasional Taylor copy. Sit in one next time and see if you don't agree. Gary Weeks also makes a very nice chair, which I also prefer to the Maloof and/or Hensarling style.
