Yesterday, I asked my daughter to make a detour while we were in Concord, New Hampshire. I'd remembered from years ago that the New Hampshire Department of Corrections encouraged it's male prisoners to take part in, and actively learn woodworking and other hand skills. Their efforts are sold to the general public, and the inventory ranges from small items like jewelry boxes, birdhouses and mailboxes to cedar chests, deacon tables and small end tables. Lots of cherry and walnut, lightly finished and not stained, and one jewelry box that caught my eye that had been done in black walnut and cherry so that the woods contrasted each other.
Definitely worth a return trip.... will have to strap the roof racks on the Subaru and try not to buy anything too large.
