Provenance, accuracy, hillarity
« on: August 06, 2013, 08:25:27 PM »
Last night I went looking for something at the ToW website, and this was the first thing that greeted me:

http://www.trackofthewolf.com/Categories/PartDetail.aspx/49/1/AAM-282

I made that set close to 35 years ago, with help and advice from Pat Tearney. Some may remember him. It was about my first ever attempt at making my own gear. It's not suede, and it's not buff colored. It's undyed veg tanned cow. That was my first attempt at horn scratching (it was a shot at a clover flower and four-leaf), and is why I leave horn engraving to others these days.

It added a dose of humility to my day.

It obviously held up great.  Nice early effort.  It was no slouch in that time.  Things have sure changed!

I see a plain serviceable bag with a nearly equally plain and serviceable horn with a little down home artwork added.

In otherwords there is nothing to be ashamed of.
