Members dhaverstick Posted August 5, 2019 Members Report Posted August 5, 2019 Over the weekend I finished this pistol bag for a friend of mine. He had approached me last February about making him something to carry his hogleg in while hunting. He gave me some deer hide he had tanned which I was able to use some of as the fringe. The body of this bag is made from 2 ounce vegetable tanned cowhide to give the bag some strength and rigidity. I then covered it with 4 ounce elk hide to pretty it up some. The dark brown trim and lace is deer hide. I carved the buttons out of deer antler and sewed it all up by hand using artificial sinew. I sure hope he likes it! Darren Quote

Members Stetson912 Posted August 5, 2019 Members Report Posted August 5, 2019 Everything you make I love. It has a contemporary 'trapper' sort of feel to it. Very nice Quote
Members kiwican Posted August 5, 2019 Members Report Posted August 5, 2019 Very cool. Jerimah Johnson would be proud to carry that! Quote
Members dikman Posted August 5, 2019 Members Report Posted August 5, 2019 When you said hogleg I wasn't expecting to see a flintlock! The bag looks very nice.
