Contributing Member BillB Posted September 23, 2011 Contributing Member Report Posted September 23, 2011 A friend of mine has asked me to construct a black powder shot bag he saw in the Black Foot Museum. It is constructed from the tanned hides from a deer's leg from the knee to the hoof including the dew claw. The construction is such that the dew claws form a ring at the base of the bag so that the bag is held in place on a table by the dew claws. I am looking for the tanned skins from eight (8) deer legs to include the dew claws and the hide to the hoof. Any assistance would be appreciated. BillB Bill B. Nead
Members WinterBear Posted September 23, 2011 Members Report Posted September 23, 2011 Chinchester has deer and reindeer apparently. http://www.chichesterinc.com/DeerLegs.htm http://www.chichesterinc.com/ReindeerFeet.htm Deer is NOT tanned, only dried. Reindeer is tanned. I used to be an Eagle, a good ol' Eagle too...
