New Bag and Horn

[gizamo]

Needed something to go with my New England fowler built by Roy Stroh. Roy sets a pretty high mark with his workmanship....and I hope the acoutrements I'm making for the gun are in keeping.  

The bag is in Bison with green tick lining. Antique forged buckle. Sewn in brown linen thread. The dubbin finish and sunlight were used to darken the leather. It has a single ball pocket inside.There is a sash keeper with game straps at the bottom.

Horn was a antique one that was not polished. I made it into a map horn of the Kennebec river...from a chart published in the 1760's.  Made the forged staple and poured a pewter cap. Used a knife for the scrim work. Wanted it to look old and well used.

I think its a very cool combo. I love folk art and map horns and that one looks real nice.
Only problem I see though is somehow the pictures of your new bag and horn alongside your Roy Stroh fowler didn't load correctly...might want to fix that...

Good looking set.  Like what you did with this.  Nice job.

Nice job Giz.
I like the bison texture.
How did you "pink" the edge inside?..iron, scissors, knife, etc?

James,

Just my neck knife... 

and I am becoming a big fan of Bison.  It sews like butter, yet is strong enough to not have the need to line the bag. Takes stain and dubbin and gives it a rich look.

Fun to work with....good stuff.

Where did you get it?

[gizamo]

Local tannery that provides it for boot leather. I bought some rejected half hides.

Thanks Tim,

I changed out the horn strap and added some loading tools.
