Made this pistol bag for a friend

#1 Post by dhaverstick »

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!

Your friend is going to be very happy. Great job.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Thanks, all! I felt bad for the guy for waiting all this time to get it. At least he got it before hunting season opened!

James, I don't have any photos of the inside. Sorry!
