James Rogers hunting bag on blog
« on: July 25, 2013, 03:04:34 PM »
What a unique and interesting piece of art. I really enjoy how this maker can capture the spirit and look of the old-world which seems to be something few people are doing.

After reading this blog entry I think it would be interesting to take a class on making your own buckles, tooling and other hardware, that is impressive and something I would love to learn how to do.

This is one of those things that just blows me away. This is more than just a cool hunting bag. It's bit of arcane history that is being re-created 'just because'. But why? All these things, ancient or lost, add up somehow to where we are today.

Thank you James Rogers, this is very inspiring to me.

WOW!
Thank you guys.
I am humbly thankful for your appreciation of my work.
This was a long project but satisfying. I like going into uncharted waters.

Respectfully

 James;

  I love this bag. It is the picture of creativity. Half the fun of owning such a piece would be all the "Experts" that would ridicule it. You need to make a nice Celtic patterned flat horn to go along with it.

I actually envision a horn flask with metal mechanisms and trim ;D

This is one of the few originals I used for inspiration. Had the chance to buy it a couple of years ago and later when I got the funds together it was gone. It was found in the Netherlands.
