Cary, NC Trip

[Draken]

Headed to Cary NC next week for a business trip. Any places woodworking related that are worth checking out? Klingspor is already on my list.

There's a Woodcraft in Raleigh if you're interested.

The Woodcraft has unfortunately closed and is being re-located, hopefully to re-open sometime this Fall. Harbor Freight is within a 1/4 mile of Klingspors (a little farther north on US1). There is East Wake Hardwoods in Wendel about 1/2 outside of Raleigh with a great woodworking/turning gallery and nice lumber stock also. The State Fair starts tomorrow (10/12) and there is usually some good working displays. There are a few good hardwood retailers but they're nothing too exciting.

There's also:
Woodworker's Supply in Graham (http://woodworker.com),
the Hardwood Store of NC in Gibsonville (http://www.hardwoodstore.com),
and Capitol City Lumber in Raleigh (http://www.capitolcitylumber.com).

I would say my house but I assume you'll be going down I-95. I'm at the other end of the state. Maybe next time!

If you decide to stray over to the Hampton Roads area there is always my house in Chesapeake! I'll show you my pressure/vacuum pot!! I've even got a blank (or three) that I am willing to part with!!![]

Thanks for the pointers and offers guys. Looks like the hours on most of the stores means I won't be making a visit due to the length of the training classes I'll be taking. I am leaving early tomorrow so I can make it to Klingspor before they close. Chesapeake is a bit off my path for this trip Scott, but you're welcome to hang on to those blanks for me and host the next NOVA picnic. []
