Horns and pouches
« on: January 14, 2010, 09:21:54 PM »
Here are two horns and two shot bags I'm working on for my daughter and me. The fringed bag is my daughters. The other Roger Sells gave me a pattern from an original to copy. The horns above each will accompany the bags.

Brian,

Do you happen to know if the original pouch was lined?

Thanks,

James

James I don't think so, Roger didn't mention any. The flap had hair on it also.

I really like the curves in the body of the one on the left!

I really like the look of the left one, copied from the original. I would love to see it when it is finished. It has a great "feel" to it, much like many of the old Southern Appalachian pouches which were often rather crude in a sense, but had lots of character.

Brian/James,
The original bag (the one that Brian reproduced on the left) was not lined.  I found it in Missouri, but I do not know where it originated.  It is a nice size for a small cal. rifle, and have copied it in the past.  I added an inside pocket on my reproduction and changed the flap a bit, but plan on copying it again with a flap similar to what Brian has done.   I too like the one that Brian has made.  Looks good Brian.
