Woodworking sights in Ohio, W.Virginia, Pennsylvania
Wreckers:
I am planning a leisurely motorcycle ride from the area around Columbus, Ohio, to Trenton, New Jersey, during the first week of July. I am looking for recommendations for woodworking-related stops along the way. I am already considering a stop in Muncy, PA, to visit the Grizzly folks. What else is out there? I don't need to go to the Wharton Esherick museum in Paoli this trip, since it is so close to home, but what else should I see? Thanks in advance for your suggestions. .. cheers. |

Back when I was still in high school, would run down to Holmes county on the bike (a baby Harley) to go fishing and you guessed it buy cheese and bologna. Just remember, stores are closed on Sunday.

You say that the Esherick Museum is close to home? Have you been? By all means stop at the Mercer Museum in Bucks County, PA. If you like old tools, this is a Mecca. Visit the former workshop of Nakashima while you are close. His daughter runs it now. Regards, Tom Watson tjwatson1ATcomcastDOTnet (real email) http://home.comcast.net/~tjwatson1/ |

Winterthur (http://www.winterthur.org/) may be worth a visit if you
like seeing some historical woodworking. They have a display called "In Wood" with an 81th century cabinet makers workbench. If you're passing near York, there is http://www.wilkemachinery.com home to Yorkcraft and Bridgewood. And, if you're near York, on a motorcycle, you've got to visit http://www.harley-davidson.com/wcm/c...tours/york.jsp A bit off track, but interesting none the less, http://www.decoymuseum.com/ in Haver de Grace, MD has a collection of some 1200 carved decoys. dcm |

The Pittsburgh Regional History Center has a rather large collection
on display: The Prine collection of Woodworking planes 239 planes dating from 1803 to 1875. Collected by Charles W. Prine, Jr, who researches their origins and makers in the book: Planemakers of Western Pennsylvania and Environs. -- May no harm befall you, flip Ich habe keine Ahnung was das bedeutet, oder vielleicht doch? In my email replace SeeEmmYou.EeeDeeYou with CMU.EDU |

There's another Warther who carves, the grandson of Ernest Warther (the guy mentioned above, who carved trains): http://www.ivorybuyer.com/museum1.htm |

If you leave a week earlier you could go to the National Woodturning
AAW show in Loiuisville KY and see the Louisville slugger baseball bat factory turning bats across the street, and they have some other well know turners exhibits close by. |

Not that it is all that special, but Woodcraft's Corporate
headquarters store is in Parkersburg, WV. Cross the Ohio on Rt. 50 and go up Rt. 68 North. After the visit continue on 68 North and it becomes Rt. 2 North and goes all the way up the Northern Panhandle. Hit Rt. 22 about Weirton and cut over to the Pittsburgh area to see that collection of planes someone mentioned.
