Had this done for a month or two, just getting around to posting pics. Made from a whitetail hide from last season that I tanned, it's a pretty good sized bag, 9x11", lined flap, two small pockets inside, welted seams and a bottom gusset for more room, 2 1/2"wide hemp strap. It looks really good hanging with the longrifle, think I'll carry this one with me for late MZ season.   |

Dave, I think next should be leather muzzles for a certain wisenhiemer or two!
Next on leather stuff may be another bag, but I've got a bunch of hides and want to try braintanning a few, hopefully enough to do a set of leggings/clouts or breeches, maybe a shirt. At the moment I've got one gun and a pipe tomahawk in progress, so that may be awhile.

Pretty neat. How did you get the color? I use a homemade dye mix, Apple cider vinegar and pieces of old rusty fence or nails, let it sit for a week or two. The trim on the flap is not dyed, so that shows how well it takes the color. Usually brush on 2 coats. |
