Finished this shooting bag last night
« on: February 03, 2019, 11:00:16 AM »
This is a shooting bag/purse I finished last night. I'm donating it to the United Bowhunters of Missouri Festival live auction held this coming Saturday, February 9th. The body of the bag is elk hide and the trim is deer hide. The dark brown bling is elephant ear and the scaly stuff is ostrich leg skin. I carved the D rings and hooks from moose antler and the buttons from deer antler. Everything was sewn by hand using artificial sinew. The bag has a large main compartment and a patch pocket on the inside. It has a gusset pocket on the front and a patch pocket on the back.The strap is adjustable. Hopefully, it will make the club a little money.

That bag is flat-out gorgeous. How many hours did it take you?

Thanks, everyone!

I started it in mid-January and finished it about 3 weeks later. I'd say I probably have 30 hours in it.
