Heres my first pouch..........in awhile at least
« on: November 07, 2016, 10:50:24 PM »
Here is my first pouch I'd like to share with everyone.  First I have to thank Mr. James Rogers for answering my questions about this pouch back in February.  It is in the same style as one of his pouches ca. 1700. Nowhere near as well executed, but I'm proud of it.  It is the first time I've stitched anything in a couple years.  Been laid up for the last couple weeks with a back injury, so I finally had time to attempt this pouch.  I'll be making my very first horn to go with it soon.

I didn't put a button on the flap, didn't think it needed it.  It measures about 7.5" wide and about 9.5" tall. Made from 3-4 oz veg. tanned leather, dyed with vinegroon.  This was fun to make, and I thank Mr. Rogers again for his help.  Let me know what you think,

Greg

Very nice.  Interesting style and no doubt difficult to pull off.
