L. Garth Huxtable Tool Design Gallery

A small subset of Huxtable's tool work is shown here. Many of the images are courtesy of Ada Louise Huxtable or the L. Garth Huxtable Collection at the American Heritage Center at the University of Wyoming, Laramie (now at the Getty Research Institute). Since the images on this page are thumbnails, credit lines appear on the full-size illustrations. Not all of these tools were produced, but they give a good idea of the range of Huxtable's creative abilities.
