      I am a long time bag and horn maker but this is a first time post of my work. This bag is a copy of a sweet little original double bag that was recovered in Lancaster, PA. It measures 6 3/4" wide by 5 1/4" high with a 1" strap. An inside stitched bag with no welts and the original did have the binding around the front flap.
      All comments and questions are most welcome. Thanks - Frank Willis

Very nice Frank. I have seen quite a few originals without welts that were definitely shop made. Do you have photos of the original?

I wish to thank all who viewed my work and the very kind comments of those who responded. A special thanks to my friend John DeWald who had the patience to see that my pictures got posted and I promise that I will learn how it is done so I can post my work in the future. This is a great site and a wonderful source of information. Hat's off the all that make it possible.

Very nice, but I like the one I purchased from him at the CLA even more.   ;D

Maybe I can get a picture or two to post.

Very nicely made and beautiful looking pouch.  I like double pouches...can't have too many pockets for me.
