Made this pistol bag for a friend

[Darren Haverstick]

Over the weekend I finished this pistol bag for a friend of mine. He had approached me last February about making him something to carry his hogleg in while hunting. He gave me some deer hide he had tanned which I was able to use some of as the fringe. The body of this bag is made from 2 ounce vegetable tanned cowhide to give the bag some strength and rigidity. I then covered it with 4 ounce elk hide to pretty it up some. The dark brown trim and lace is deer hide. I carved the buttons out of deer antler and sewed it all up by hand using artificial sinew. I sure hope he likes it!

Looks great Darren. He should get a lot of use from it.

I agree! That's a handy thing to have!

Oh, my, but that is beautiful!

I've always heard that the Navajo, when weaving their blankets, leave one flaw so as to not anger or mock the gods. I always look but can never find the flaw.

When Darren posts his makings here I can't help but look for a flaw, but, doggonit, I can never find one.   

Beautiful work.     As always!
