1st bag and strap
« on: March 02, 2009, 06:52:53 AM »
I have finally almost finished by 1st bag and card woven strap.  The leather is a little heavy, the main bag is made of 8 oz leather.  I have since gotten some 3-4 oz leather for my next bat.  The strap is card woven from cotten yarn.  The knife is a Redwood from Northcoast Knives.  I reshaped the blade to remove the finger grooves.  One of the next projects is a bison powder horn to go with this bat.

Please feel free to critique this bag, as I would like to make another, hopefully better later this year.

Thanks, Tim

Nicely done indeed.  I like it.  Aside from being very good work it has a real "comfortable feel" to it.  Can't put it in words, but it just "feels" right.  I'd be right happy wearing that anywhere anytime.  Well done.

Nicely done for first attempt.  I like the mix of the hair on hide and a great job on the strap.  I like the pattern.  Keep up the good work.  I would expect to see others in the future?

I love the whole package! You are a true craftsman. What did you use to finish the scales on the knife? I love the color!
