"Lyman" pouch
« on: January 20, 2022, 06:52:49 PM »
This French and Indian war era shot pouch is 7.5" wide by 5" deep. This style of pouch was made famous by the account of one Lemuel Lyman from Easthampton Massachusetts who was wounded during an ambush on the 8th of Sept 1755. i live about 20min from lemuel lymans home, so im kinda surprised it took me this long to make his pouch.

Nice work!  Those are great little shot bags for a day hunt, and make dandy fire kits as well.
