Many of my pieces have been inspired by originals that I have seen in museums and antique stores while traveling across the
country attending Civil War reenactments. Several of these items are pictured below, some of which are currently available and
the rest are made to order.
I welcome suggestions for additional pieces. If you have a reasonably clear photograph or sketch, I can make a close copy.
