The shooter's supply box is made of solid western
white pine. It measures 18" wide by 9" deep and 11" tall. It
features a divided lower section and a removable divided tray. Built with full
dovetail corner construction and a coopered curved lid this shows the cabinet
maker's skill while also making a great range box. It has a hand forged
carrying handle and period butterfly hinges. David carved two swirl rosettes
and cross hatching into the front panel.
You may have to hide this if you plan on taking it
to the range, it would really look nice in the house.
David is a well known cabinetmaker who uses
traditional techniques for colonial through civil war wood items. He also does
modern cabinet work and is well thought of by his customers. David states "My reason for donation is that I
believe in the CLA and its mission. I enjoy the promotion of Early American
skills of modern artists. I hope to be recognized along with my contemporaries
as having those skills."
Davis is a regular at
the CLA annual meeting, usually just a little clockwise from the the main
entrance. Stop by and say hello (and shop).
