corkscrew Report post Posted October 5, 2018 Birthday present for one my sons. Shot shell beg with loops for a belt, should hold 75+ 12 gauge shells. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alpha2 Report post Posted October 5, 2018 My hound went crazy when she saw the squirrel! Must be a good likeness, very realistic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

battlemunky Report post Posted October 6, 2018 This is going to sound completely wrong, but I love your wood. The bark is colored and textured really nicely and the squirrel is well done too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rockoboy Report post Posted October 6, 2018 I like the different textures above and below the tree branch. Just a couple questions ... what is the weight of 75+ 12G shotgun shells? How will this case stand up to carrying that sort of weight, or does the case become a storage box (not a carry-case) when it's full? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elom Report post Posted October 6, 2018 Very beautiful work you have done, that carving and coloring are just gorgeous. Which thickness of the leather have you used for this project? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian, I shoot sporting clays, skeet and trap and I use a small shell box holder for one box of loaded shells and just use the larger pouch like this for empties. I wouldn’t want to carry 75 loaded shells in the pouch - it would tilt me over to one side! LOL! Gary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

corkscrew Report post Posted October 6, 2018 Thanks everyone for the compliments. The leather is approximately 7-8 oz. He probably won’t carry 75 all at once, more like 50. Just put 75 as an estimate of size. 3 rivets on each belt loop, but I may need to beef it up. Will see after he uses it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJole Report post Posted October 6, 2018 That's a nice looking squirrel and branch. Good modeling and excellent coloring! The texturing on the backgrounds is a nice touch, too. And I suppose it even works for its intended purpose, so it's all a win! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
