Title: Simple Bag for a simple hunter
Post by: mab7 on October 05, 2019, 05:09:36 AM: First bag I have done in a while...
Simple bag made from 6 ounce oak tanned leather that measures about 8" x 9". Hand stitched with waxed linen thread with a gusset and welted seams. Treated inside and out with a generous coating of bear grease that I rendered. Inside pocket is sewn in the middle to form two. Rings and buckle are hand-forged by Ben Hoffman, as well as the knife. The pick and brush are the work of David Crisalli.

Still need to attach the accouterments, do a strap for the horn and then head for the woods!

I like the entire combo. The bag, horn, and knife all go together well!

Post by: Mountaingoat on October 08, 2019, 04:29:51 AM: That's a very good looking getup! If I could build one for myself, I could only hope it would turn out exactly like that. For what I do, that would be perfect.

Post by: Mike Lyons on October 16, 2019, 05:55:03 PM: Looks great. That's not a simple bag by any means. It resembles the TN bag in "Kentucky Rifles of the Great Smoky Mountains" by Randal Pierce.
