finished a new fabric/leather hunting bag to go with old horn

(1/2) > >>

Shopdog:
I guess I'm doing this backwards = haven't even started the rifle I intend these to go with but so it goes.  The rifle will be a late 18th century VA rifle.  The powder horn is original dated on the plug "1797".  I have a lot of handwoven linsey woolsey copied from a mid to late 18th century example so figured I'd use it for some bags.  The body of the bag is the fabric and the flap is brain-tanned then walnut dyed buckskin. The pewter button is an original dating to the 18th century.  What sets this set off are the fantastic woven straps courtesy Kris Polizzi.  Her woven straps are tops!!!

Lovely shapes and materials in the bag! Nice work. Looking forward to seeing the whole set come together.

Very nice work on the bag.  It's great that you actually have an original horn.

 Nice work, they complement each other.
