Jack Weeks hand stitched this 8x8 inch D-shaped bag of bark tanned deer hide with waxed linen thread for the 2018 CLA Auction. It has a 3x2 ball pocket and a 4x8 inch partition at the inside back. Paula Hoagland ( Indiana) provided the hand woven wool and linen strap. Rick Lorenzen (Michigan) contributed the 13 inch scrimshawed horn with a rattlesnake theme. The late Kenny Nichols (Alabama) made the 4inch, 70 grain rattlesnake powder measure. Matt Hunt (Virginia) prepared the bark tan for this bag. “
Each year Jack puts together a team to assemble a unique hunting set with accouterments. This year’s rattlesnake set is particularly appealing. Note the fascinating details on the Lorenzen horn and how coherent the entire set is. This rustic hunting set is well matched and with its rattlesnake theme would go well with a southern rifle.
We note with regret the passing of Kenny Nichols earlier this year. He will be missed by all of his friends in the longrifle community.
