Finally Finished Shotgun Shell Pouch

[garypl]

Friend asked me to make him a shot shell pouch when I had time.  Finally found some free time to finish it.  Front and back panels are HO 7-8 oz and gusset is 4-5 oz bison.  Saddle stitch the gusset to the panels but used my machine to sew the back flap and gusset folds.  He likes it. Now he wants a belt!

Looks really nice!

Very nice and should hold up very well.

Great idea to use the bison as the gussets.  It probably made it easier to sew / bend around.  Very sharp. Well done on the lettering too.  Very difficult to do and do right.

Looks really good!  One question, how did you dye the black lettering and tooling background?  When I dye lettering I can never get the edges so clean and sharp.

Good stuff.

Excellent work.  I've been wanting to make one myself and seeing yours I may just have to get it done.

That's a very nice job and design I did one similar and set it up for trap doubles

I used bison for this very reason - very strong leather, soft temper and easier to bend around curves.

I use a very fine tipped artist’s brush and carefully dye all the black background and letters.  Took a couple of hours to finish this one.
