Took a day trip to Dover, Ohio yesterday and visited the https://thewarthermuseum.com/. Just amazing pieces of work. Most of his work was done with ebony & legal ivory. There is no glue used on any of his pieces, everything is carved to fit. He never sold any of his carvings. These 3 trains were some of his early works. The wheels came from a local pool hall and were damaged ivory cue balls. This was a prototype being designed that has boiler & power in the tender car to help push the train up hills. This is the only known model of this type of train. The handrails measure under 1/16"dia. Lincoln funeral train. All the lettering is ivory inlayed into the ebony. Abalone trim on the cars and wheels. The rope that rings the bell is a single piece of ivory about 1/32"dia. Lincoln inside the funeral car. This piece was made of just ivory & the train's weight is 72 pounds. The bridge is ebony with highlights in walnut and the mortar joints are made of ivory. This piece to a year to carve.

A few years ago, archaeologists uncovered this ancient Stone Age axe with an intact wooden shaft stuck into the ground at Rødbyhavn, Denmark It dates to the Stone Age, about 5,500 years ago! Axes were an important tool in the Stone Age for wood-work purposes. They played a significant role in the introduction of agriculture at a time when most of the land was covered by forest, which needed to be cleared. A paddle, two bows, and 14 axe shafts were found nearby, all of which were standing upright. The researchers believe these artifacts were lodged into the ground deliberately, perhaps as sacrificial offerings. Museum Lolland-Falster

The Watervliet Shaker Historic District, in Colonie, New York, was the first Shaker settlement in America. It’s also where Mother Ann Lee lived her final days. Lee and seven followers left England and arrived in New York City in 1774 to establish a purer form of Shakerism. They established Watervliet in Albany County, New York, in 1776. While Watervliet was the first Shaker settlement, the first "formal" organization was established at Mount Lebanon.

Our founders first met in 2001 to discuss what we could do to save this gem of Ohio's Shaker heritage. Since that meeting, we have grown to about 150 members, and in 2007 took control of the North Family's eight acres and eleven historic buildings through a lease from the Great Parks of Hamilton County. We are an Ohio non-profit corporation with IRS 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. White Water is one of 24 communal villages founded, in the United States, between 1787 and 1824 by the United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing, generally called "Shakers." It is the only one of four Ohio Shaker villages retaining most of its original buildings in their original settings and features the only standing brick meeting house in the country. Source: About Us

Inside the Maloof customer gallery, this is where potential customers come and place orders. This chair is one of his earlier models, you can tell by the straight back support spindles, later he started curving the back for lumbar support. -

The smell inside of Maloof's walnut storage barn was incredible. My wife looks on in awe at the figure in the slab walnut. -

My lovely wife on our 28th Anniversary date to the Maloof compound. This is a separate gallery showcasing the friends of Maloof and their artwork they donated or gifted to the family. The chair is a Maloof, the only Maloof item in this gallery, made of Avocado wood from one of his trees, it was not the best looking Maloof I have seen, the wood did not take his finish very well, and it was blotchy, and I am certain it was not his favorite chair, thus the reason they set here, accessible to the public. -
