When you go to Keim Lumber, make sure they show you their warehouse on the third floor. Huge inventory of everything imaginable. Especially the selection of large live-edge slabs.

For those of you who want to add another local venue onto your Ohio Camp weekend, visit the Warther's Museum in Dover, OH.

This museum was brought to our attention by a Michigan shopbotter who visited it back in the 1960's with his family. He tells us that many of the wood & ivory locomotives are actual working models, with moving parts and all. The museum also includes the knife factory tour.

If anyone in the Akron area is interested in carpooling on Saturday, I live in Tallmadge and have room for 3 additional people. I will be leaving my house by 7:15. PM me if interested.
