Show Us Your Leather Works!!

[Spotted Bull]

Yeah show us what you have made yourself! I love looking at others work, and probably stealing ideas from them!

Here is one I made a long time ago. I found the thread here and copied it.

Ron is an important friend of mine and he needed a special shooting bag to use during his Wilderness Vigil coming up in a few months. After much deliberation and deciding, we came up with a design and I set to work. The body of the bag is sewn together at 11 stitches per inch as well as the two pockets on the front.  The bag has hand cut fringe and features a nice gusset in the bottom that narrows down at the corners.  He needed two pockets on the front to hold stuff, so he got that, as well as a strip sewn across the back inside to hold his short starter and powder measure and pan charger when they are not being used.  Further, he wanted his totem on the front with a red wool backer. Its the first time I have done one with a cloth backing and I think it turned out pretty good.  Thr strap is adjustable as well as the straps that will hold his powder horn, which he wanted to be removable as well. So here it is!

This not much of a "leather project", but rather a simple rawhide repair I did on an original (antique) powder horn recently,.......

Nice repair Rondo, I like it!

[Spotted Bull]

Yeah I've always thought repairs like that were pretty cool.

Darren that's really nice work too, brother!

WOW!!!

All the work is awesome, but I luv the cows knees photo posted by Darren. Never seen anything like that and I have to admit I badly "Need"" one...

I also like the rawhide repair on the horn. Repairs like that just seem "right & proper" and very much "period correct" to me.

Thank you to all for inspiring us with such art and craftsmanship. My hat is off to ya all!
