or better said, the "Gunning Tray"

We were vacationing last week in Nags Head, NC and while there I visited THE BIRD STORE, a local seller of decoys, hunting-related art, and other similar items.

I saw this reproduction gunning tray which contained a box of vintage shotgun shells and four shorebird decoys. The price was $285.

My first reaction was, "I can make that." Here are some results:

Here are my versions. I made three variants:

THE BIRD STORE is in Kill Devil Hills and is well worth a visit. They also sell books and outdoor prints, some hunting and fishing antiques, as well as other types of art.
