Thanks Don. I didn't do the scrimshaw work. A friend of mine made me the horn in exchange for a bag that he wanted. We were both happy with the trade, but I think I made out better on the deal.

It all looks fantastic to me, Steve. Congrats on some really nice work. Glad to see some historical patterns making it into the 21st century.

Thank you most kindly. I love the old stuff, and the folks that made them and used them.

I'd love to find out more about the stitched patterns into the leather. I love that, it looks awesome.

What is it called?

Hello Hoyden,

I truly do not know if it has a actual name. It is simply using the stitching as part of the decoration. Allot of the patterns are native american or early american folk art. Some I have found from mueseum pieces, or pics of original bags. I don't know if that answers your question or not. Many originals were plain to the extreme, some used cutouts, and some used appliques. Many just had stitching that caught the owners fancy.

Thank you Luke, I appreciate it. Would love to see some of your work, hopefully soon. Are you into the living history side of this? Would be great to see some 18th or early 19th century style gear.

Hi Mathew,

Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it.

They are called portmanteu's, and think of them as colonial luggage. They were

made to carry personal belongings. They could be carried in a wagon, or buggy. Or they could be tied behind the saddle of your horse. Map cases were a good guess, but they were generally longer and round, with a cap on one end.

"Portmanteau" is the standard spelling, for the folks here who speak other languages. (It is amazing- in chat the other day we had people from three continents, and many of them could converse with each other in more than one language!)

Luke- download "Image Resizer" from MSPowertoys and install it. It will add a right click option to pictures to automatically resize them, with three different choices for size. It it very easy to use, and free.

SteveJ, what have you been working on lately? I've always liked buckskinner and reenactor events, do you go to those? Got any more pics to share? (hint hint!)

Hi Johanna, thanks for the spell check. Didn't think that looked right,but I was too lazy to check. I haven't been able to keep up with all the new postings, so I'm trying to get caught up. Such talent here, it's amazing.

I have been pretty busy with events since May. And it probably won't let up until Oct. I did get new stuff finished, and will try to post them soon. Thank you for asking.

I do have to admit that I love this time of year, every weekend is pretty much booked. It's a lot of fun being a demonstrator, and showing folks a different way, and a older way of doing something. But it's just as fun for me to grab my flintlock, and my bag and wander the woods for a few days. Just born a few hundred years too late I guess.

Luke, Office 2000 is your Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook etc. It's software to run on your Windows computer. When you boot the computer, what does the splash screen say? Which flavor of Windows do you have?
