About the Author
Friendship, Indiana, is also home of gun maker Jack Haugh who gave Dave the inspiration for quality gun making.
Dave's quest brought him to work as a stockmaker at the renowned firm of Griffin & Howe. In the early 1980's, he began to make fine custom riflestocks and accessories on a professional level and achieved recognition nationally with commissioned works by the Dallas Safari Club and others.
To create suitable images of his work, Mr. Wesbrook went on to study photography under one of America's most important innovators of fine art photography, Mr. Frederick Sommer. Dave's gun photography has graced the pages of Rifle Magazine, Gun Digest, Peterson's Hunting, Hunters Quest, Guns and American Rifleman. His photographic work has included private collections, special projects for National Geographic, National Gallery of Art, National Museum of American History, The Smithsonian Institute, as well as all photographic illustration in this book.
Today Mr. Wesbrook resides in the Midwest and continues to produce custom rifles, hunt, fish and do fine art photography.
