An Egyptian passenger ship of 2000 B.C.. By this time Middle Kingdom ships often featured rounded spoon shaped hulls but many still sported the bipod and tripod masts. Here we see the rounded hull in the 12th Dynasty coupled with a rig that remained unchanged for many centuries and was seen on the Nile some 500 years prior to this time.

We are open in January on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 10 to 4. We will be open on Martin Luther King Day 10 to 4. Please note the following:

1) Our hilltop receives the worst of wintertime weather and so we do close at a moment's notice when our parking lot becomes dangerous. Please feel free to call if you have concerns about your visit. 330-852-6096.

2) Our carver will very likely be here Monday thru Saturday so if you are here early in the week you are likely to find us open but this is his relaxed time of the year and he may or may not be here early in the week. If you are planning a visit just call us and we will be here for you with weather permitting.

From April 1 through October 31 we are open Monday thru Saturday 10 till 5. We are always closed on Sundays. We are closed on Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day.
