Hi everyone
My wife and I stopped in Charlotte NC to visit the Mint Craft Museum, they have a wonderful exhibit of work done at Pennland --
I saw a Maloff rocking chair, Fridg chair, a Wendell Castle blanket chest, some fantastic turned pieces, and a whole lot of other "non wood" crafts
If you want to see some close up examples of wonderfully executed work, it is worth the trip. Tuesdays admission is free otherwise it is $6.
Beautiful stuff, if you are within driving distance I strongly urge a visit. It is a small museum but wonderfully done. No photography allowed in the museum so you'll have to take the images home in your head, or buy the catalog!
Here's the link
