A work in progress for a Jaeger rifle in the near future.

That Jaeger bag gives me all kinds of interesting ideas, like a family coat of arms, or the family tartan, or a map of Ohio or England. Maybe the Coat of Arms with a strap faced with the tartan. So many possibilities!

My double pouch bag for my 20 gauge smoothbore

This bag and strap was made by the Weaving Welshman. It's unlined, made of leather with the strap having been treated with beeswax, it goes with my TVM early Virginia rifle.

This is the first bag I ever bought, made by a local leather company. It isn't period correct but it is so stoutly made that it will probably outlive my grand niece. This picture includes my cherry stocked Trade Rifle and Buffalo powder horn.

Tim, I don't know how I would share it. I see a bag style I like and draw it out on paper, cut it out, tape it together and maybe tweak it around a bit, disassemble it and trace the parts out on the leather and start stitching. The book by T.C. Albert has been a great help in understanding how to work with leather. I think Ron Scot posted a picture of a bag he made with a painted flap, that was the inspiration for mine.

Sometimes I just go with the amalgam of pictures I've seen and just start drawing.
Thank you. Almost forgot, the leather is about .080" thick.

May I ask how many compartments does that bag have and what weight
Leather did you use? Thanks.

Tim

Tim, that bag has one big compartment, but there are two smaller pouches stitched to the back inside wall. The leather is about.080" thick.

I've carried this rig with a .50 cal Lancaster since I built the bag and rifle 30+ years ago.
Needs a new strap attachment.

Here is a bag I commissioned from Ron Scott several years ago. Really happy with it except the painting gets sticky in very humid weather.

I guess I’ll never make a bag again. Premium stuff I’m seeing!

John SMOthermon · « **Reply #33 on:** October 04, 2018, 08:11:53 PM »

I feel the same way Rich.

Beautiful bags Guys

Darkhorse · « **Reply #34 on:** October 04, 2018, 09:04:45 PM »

Hanshi, I really like the light colored bag with the beadwork and woven strap. I've wanted a bag like that for many years, just haven't put in the effort to get one.

Mike Lyons · « **Reply #35 on:** October 05, 2018, 08:07:10 PM »

I agree with Mr. Pierce. The craftsmanship is stunning.

Huntschool · « **Reply #36 on:** October 06, 2018, 01:40:44 AM »

I started this so I guess I should post something. This bag is plus 30 years old. It started life as a shoulder bag and worked quite well at that. During one of my "lets try something else" periods I decided to make it into a belt bag. It worked/works well both ways.

It is a divided bag with a small ball pocket at the back of the interior. I love this bag and it has been through He[[ with me. Sticking with my love of plain and functional....... but good to look at.

Lets see some more bags.....

This is my first attempt at a bag. I’ve already removed the flap because I didn’t like the fit. Thanks Marc for letting me attempt to copy one of your bags. I have 3 others in the works out of TC Alberts book. This hobby seems more addictive than guns because you can buy the materials at a lower cost.

This is my personal bag, double bag, forged buckle, late Philadelphia horn

Jerry V Lape · « **Reply #40 on:** October 07, 2018, 08:30:57 AM »

Bag I just finished. The leather will get much softer with handling. has small elk skin pocket inside back to carry a few ball and the exterior front pocket shown in the photo under the flap.

Second bag is my hunting bag made from the same hide after a few years of use. LRB made the patch knife.

Bag on left for my 50 cal by Lawrence Fiorillo. Bag on right for my 40 cal by me.

Here's a few I've made...I'm not much of a photographer.

.... Here is a Mountain Man possibles bag as used by a Rocky Mountain trapper & trader,.... I made this one about 50 years ago when everyone thought they had to have a Hawken rifle and a Cheyenne woman,.... some fringe & beads lost over the years, but still looks OK,....

hanshi · « **Reply #46 on:** October 18, 2018, 11:42:28 PM »

Darkhorse, I was hesitant with posting those bags as I didn't want to sully a fine thread showing off amazing artwork. Thanks for the kind words but I get by simply by telling others that my 10 year old grandson made them for a history class project.

dstock · « **Reply #47 on:** October 19, 2018, 02:39:00 AM »

It is truly amazing at the craftsman and their artful workmanship on this forum. I like all these bags. I would love to see more bags that would look at home in the Tennessee mountains of old. Love those Tennessee Mountain rifles!
God Bless

Marcruger · « **Reply #48 on:** October 19, 2018, 02:09:45 PM »

Doug, this is as close to a Appalachian mountain bag as I have done (hair-on calf hide). After seeing all of the other bags posted here, I am leery to put my work on display by comparison. God Bless, Marc

Robby · « **Reply #49 on:** October 19, 2018, 05:19:50 PM »

This a bag with knife, horn and measure all in one unit for a Tennessee Mountain Rifle I made, rugged, no nonsense. My favorite.
