Bag I was working on in other post....
« on: February 25, 2019, 07:55:54 AM »
Here is a pic of the bag I have been working on and asked about in the post "buckle in front or back.".  Its about 90% finished but I thought I would show it off a bit.  I did decide to go with buckle in the back and give it a try.

The body and all leather work, save for the brown trim, is dyed calf skin, the strap is by Kris Polizzi and the horn is a screw tip by Art DeCamp.  Thanks to them both for producing such really fine works. The hang straps for the horn are doubled calf with a bit of "clock chain" on the tip connection.  The whole bag is lined with blue stripe pillow ticking.  I have to do some more sewing and am waiting on some "parts" to attach the powder measure pick and brush as well as an "in process" patch knife.

It has a center divider with a 1/4 height bottom gusset in the front pocket.  There is also a hanging pouch on the inside back for balls etc.

I have worn it around the house (weather has been terrible) and it hangs well and seems to be very functional. The horn rides above the top of the bag when worn.  This will be for my .62 fowler.


Thanks



Here is one with a bit more detail of the horn etc.

With a powder horn labeled BAH, the pouch should be named "Humbug!".  Or maybe "Humbag!"?

Hint, I like the style and look of your bag!  What type of leather did u use for the bag and then the bound edge of the flap?

From the top of my post...."The body and all leather work, save for the brown trim, is dyed calf skin" 

The trim is some very old Tandy stripping.  It is no more then .040 thick.  I have looked all over the net and can not find anything like it on the market.

Thanks all.....  The bag is about done save for the items I am waiting on.  I'll post a completed pic when it all comes together.  For now, I am hanging it with lead in the pouch and some stuff in the bag just to break it in a bit.  I am hoping to shoot out of it tomorrow if we dont get the freezing rain and sleet that is forecast.

I am working on two more bags in the mean time.
