A resident of Elora, Davud is a talented metal designer working in a traditional black smith methods. He puts much thought and effort into everything he creates. His work is strong, masculine, yet curvaceous and sensitive. He has created original designs for gates, fences, trellises, birdbaths, railings, beds, candleholders, fireplace tool sets, planters and so many things I can’t begin to mention. We call David “our in house artist” because he’s been with us since 1993 and drops in to take orders every other day. David’s work can be seen on the front of our building and on many other buildings in Elora.
