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 some of which 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.

This reproduction of a Civil War era Field
Officer’s desk was based on an original that is
located in a museum in Vicksburg,
Mississippi. This desk can complement any
reenactor officer’s impression, and will also
serve well as a home message or
correspondence center. The desk pictured
here was constructed entirely of solid oak,
and features blackened iron hardware. It is
available in a variety of hardwoods and stain
colors, and the front panel can be punched
with the design of your choice.

This Mess Chest was based on a pen and ink
drawing found in Randolph Marcy’s book, The
Prairie Traveler, originally published in the
mid-1800's as a guide book for settlers
heading west.
The Mess Chest features a folding leg built
into the lid making it into a table for two. The
two removable trays are divided to allow for
easy organization of eating and cooking
utensils, spices and seasonings, as well as
plates and cups. The large open compartment
in the bottom of the chest serves well for
storing skillets and larger platters.
This chest is available in a variety of woods
and stain colors, and the hardware is
blackened iron.
PRICE: 275 - $350 (depending on wood selection)

Our Cribbage Boards include Maple Pegs and
tote bags for both the board and the pegs.
This game is ideal for road trips and hunting
camps. It is also perfect for reenactors
because it will easily fit into a haversack.

3 boards are currently available, two Oak and
one Maple.

Based on a 19th century original that belongs
to a reenactor friend, this travel mirror has
become one of my more popular items.
When folded, the mirror is protected by two
pieces of solid wood, and when opened, the 8
inch by 6 inch mirror provides a large view at
a convenient angle. The brass hook and eye
keeps the mirror securely closed during
transport.
Two of these are currently available: one
made of Poplar with a Rose design, and one
made of Basswood with a Turkish Knot
design.
PRICE: $ 32.95
