New bag ready for the market
« on: March 01, 2021, 06:34:46 PM »
Hello Guys.
After making and selling a few netbags, I decided to make for my last netbag made, also to make myself a game bag to it.
This is the result, what I call a Colonial Dutch Fowler gamebag
Bag made of 2-3 oz vegtan leather with in the Flap insert painted with Dutch floral colonial design.
Bag measurements are 11 by 9 inch with inner pocket and on the front also a pocket with button closed Flap.
3-4 oz strap with handmade brass buckle, has also game straps
Best regards
Hawkeye

That looks good. And it would look good hanging on my Erik Kettenberg fowler which has about the same bird carved in the stock. Nice job

That gamebag is drool-worthy work sir.  I also like your initiative to handmake that nice brass buckle.   God Bless,   Marc

Quick question
What are the hanging rings for?
Never mind - game straps
