Dane, yours is bigger then Meredith's but I got the idea to make her one while I was making yours. I'm so glad you like it and can(and will) use it.  8)

It will make a great shooting bag for muzzle loading. It will get used, but carefully, to protect it.

As for my gift, I'm close to completing it. I cant say who it is for, just that birch is involved in some way. Red ochre is also involved.

I've already started 3 just to get mad and trash them. I'm having a hard time deciding this year. I can't seem to find anything I'm happy with.
