Whittling in Ohio
By Linda Tancs
For many, whittling is a casual pastime, a form of wood carving that involves using a knife to shape wood, typically by shaving off small pieces to create a desired form. Not so for Ernest Warther. He hand-sculpted over 60 works focusing on the steam engine, earning him the title World’s Master Carver. You can see his works of genius at the Ernest Warther Museum & Gardens in Dover, Ohio. His workshop is left untouched since his death in 1973. General admission also includes the family home as well as the Button House, featuring over 73,000 buttons in various quilt and geometric patterns hanging on the walls. Guided and self-guided tours are available.
