An actor I’ve know since the 90’s, Tim Thomerson, is a great friend of Dave Letterman’s. He wanted to give Dave a set of antique spurs but needed a box. He wanted something rustic and western. I came up with the idea of replicating a Wells Fargo strong box from the stage coach era. ‘DC’ is the Brand used on Letterman’s Ranch, Deep Creek. Attached is my first sketch and some pics. I installed a functional antique half mortise lock and did all the carpentry, scenic and lettering personally in my shop.
Tim was actually quite happy. He’s mugging for the pic.
Thanks for checking out my shameless self promotion.
Best,
Michael
