Title: Favorite Two Accoutrements You've Made In Last 12 Months - Show Us
Post by: Marcruger on March 20, 2020, 05:38:36 PM: Hi Folks,

Since everyone is hunkering down with this virus mess, I thought I'd be fun for everyone to show their personal favorite two accoutrement items they've made in the last 12 months. A fun retrospective as it were.

This doesn't have to be what others think are great, just what YOU think came out well. A good selection criteria would be if you considered keeping it for yourself when done. Like Eric Ewing's New Year's Day bag with the hair-on flap. Tim Crosby's snuff box. Ron's Thomas Simpson horn. Bob's SC horn. Anything by James Rogers..... That sort of thing.

My favorites I've done are "Beard" and "Stitches", shown below...….

Like I said, this is just for fun to take our minds off being stuck at home.

God Bless, and sincere best wishes to all, Marc

Post by: GA Turner on March 20, 2020, 08:01:37 PM: Finished this up and it is for a member who is awaiting delivery of a Lexington KY rifle. The original was made by Thomas Simpson to accompany a rifle he built for Casper Mansker. Flower designs and hearts are also on the rifle engraving. The tip plug screws into the horn which is unusual and the engraving is only on the front and top panel of the horn. The engraving at the band only goes around 2/3 of the horn.

Post by: Greg Pennell on March 21, 2020, 10:05:17 AM: Great idea, Marc, and fine looking “stuff”, guys! My favorite so far is the game bag I made recently:

And a new bag for my old Virginia rifle. The horn is about 10 years old, but the strap is new.

Post by: John SMOthermon on March 21, 2020, 05:24:28 PM: Wow! There’s gonna’ be some very nice accoutrements made during this period.

Thanks for sharing y’alls fantastic work .

I’m still piddling around, but will never reach the level of Craftsmanship displayed here.

Here’s a couple of my feeble attempts... they’re functional but that’s about the extent of it.

Post by: Marcruger on March 21, 2020, 07:05:50 PM: I'll add this sash woven by Louise Hess to the mix. It's 1-3/4" wide. I love the contrasting but subtle edging thread. I'll let Louise weigh in on how it was made and dyed.

It's resting on a delightful flat horn by Ron Hess. :-)

God Bless, Marc

Post by: Top Jaw on March 21, 2020, 07:53:38 PM: First one was a horn I drilled through the neck on and tossed away in a box years ago. I pulled it back out of the box last summer, and was able to shorten it and salvage it with a turned applied tip. Second is the last horn I completed.

Seriously, that is some fine engraving on that horn. Super nice.

Clark, I guess my quill work is more woodland style, No?

It seems to be a good blend, and it's fantastic. Maybe I should have been a touch more specific. I'm meaning the Eastern floral style that is seen in much of the Iroquois, Cherokee and even some in the Shawnee stuff. Your horn strap does have some Shawnee styling to it, at least from what I'm able to find on the subject, and I'm no expert by any stretch. I'm still studying the quillin and beading stuff and I am finding vastly differing info about just when beading started to become prevalent. I'm finding dates ranging from 1790s-1830s.

Post by: Mike from OK on March 22, 2020, 01:06:42 PM: I am fortunately still working... people stlll want their electricity. But it's the weekend so I got to try my hand at some leather work today.

It isn't necessarily my favorite. But I'm working on it right now so I guess I hold it in some regard. I need to do some finish work on the edges and figure out some kind of closure...

Here's my attempt at a Lyman bag (and my first real attempt at bound edges)

(https://i.ibb.co/KbswzBt/IMG-20200322-044529675.jpg) (https://ibb.co/Bc6NKvh)

(https://i.ibb.co/Z11rRMx/IMG-20200322-044443562.jpg) (https://ibb.co/yBBCmQq)

I had started this a week or so ago and it was languishing on my work table, so I decided to work on it today and spent the better part of the day on it. I decided to put a strap on it although originally I wanted it to be fabric and leather. But I was short on the strapping I originally had in mind, so solid leather is what it came to be.

Jerry sent me a copy of the pattern he used to make his. So I may make a couple more... One a belt bag and the other with my originally intended fabric/leather shoulder strap. Just have to see.

Mike

In August, I was fortunate to be included in the 2019 CLA "New & Aspiring Artist" display in Lexington -- for that display, I made up a leather & linen Haversack...

And since my Mom's side of the family has roots in southern VA in the 18th century, an Early VA pouch was in order...

I recently made a bark tan deer hide vest for my brother in law, Russ Dahlstrom from Dunrustic. Russ tanned the hides, and my wife and I made the vest.

Also, a bark tan deer hide sheath for a great knife made by Joe Schell.

Thank you to all for posting, great stuff indeed.

Jim Webb (who has owned 200 original bags and wrote a book) says most originals had leather straps. It makes sense, as you'd wear out cloth a lot faster than leather. Many of the ones with cloth straps now originally had leather. God Bless, Marc

I hear ya Marc. And it makes sense that any pouch made at home would be all leather... Likely all made from the same hide. But a fabric strap sure looks nice sometimes, even if it was historically rare.

I like it Bull. It’s a likely bag. Super.

I agree with Bob. Not a thing wrong with that bag at all. That would be a super bag for a smoothie.

I always wanted a hefty but small camp knife, so I made this Cukoo Knife to also hang from the belt. It's not really a Puuko or Leuku but comes from the part of Skandanavia where all the Gnomes live.

Evidently most of the Gnomes came through Philadelphia around the time of the Anabaptists. The latter became the Amish and Mennonites and the former can once in a while be seen hanging off their buggies and laughing when the horses fertilize the roads.

Post by: bigsmoke on March 23, 2020, 09:27:53 PM: Well shucks. In looking back over the past 12 months, I cannot think of a single thing that I have made for myself. I guess all work and no play makes John a dull boy.

But I have made at least 100 powder horns of various size and style. But did I take a photo of any of them? No, surely didn't. Did I number any of them? No to that also. Oh well, so it goes in the production shop. Which by the way closed on 1/1/2020. Decided that after 36 years making powder horns, I had inhaled enough horn dust for 7 lifetimes.

But, for chuckles and grins, here is one that I made about a year and a half ago. I didn't sell it. My wife did.

Are those measures made from walnut and horn Jim?

And I guess you're saying I'm out of luck if I request one of those beavers? LOL

Once you hit ‘add image to post’ and then ‘Browse from your device’ and ‘upload’ after selecting the pics, wait 10 second or so and it will kick back to the thread. I’ve had issues trying to hit buttons instead of waiting. That may be it.

I made these in the last 2 evenings. The turnscrew is made from an old hay rake tine. The pan brush has turkey beard bristles.
It's a whole new world with the wife working from home.

Post by: Craig Wilcox on March 28, 2020, 07:55:42 PM: I've just made a couple of knives for myself, one sheath knife with a Damascus blade, the other a two-bladed pocket knife. But I got the blades from a commercial source, as my forge skills are worse than poor. I'll see if I can get am inexpensive camera in the near future.

Glad to see that it was not we Mennonites that were laughing at the fresh fertilizer - we bemoan getting the stuff on our shiny cars!

Post by: Mark Elliott on March 29, 2020, 10:19:22 PM: Both of these were posted here before and sold shortly after they were finished. Actually, the horn was sold before it was finished. I never get to keep my best work. At least I take good pictures.
