nice job on the bag!
from the pic, those cones look well made too, did you use a sharpened dowel to form them?

     Beautiful!  J.W. Is at this very moment, figuring out what he can entice you into trading for it!  It might go something like this....... " Wow, that would go so nice with my .69 cal. flintlock,........ and my Cousin's knife!"  Just as soon as I can figure some way to con him out of it.... ::) ;D  So........ "uh, I have this bag of beautiful Meriams wing feathers, ok, I will throw in a couple of tail feathers too.  How about a genuine hand made gun rack, made with two turkey legs, and feet, with the middle toe extended on each?  "Quite a conversation starter".......... Just think of all the wonderful evenings, you can spend in your easy chair, with a drink of your choice, your feet up on the ottoman, and admiring the fine gun rack, you out traded me on." ;)  "Won't that be fun?"

     Just be careful.  ;) That is a great looking bag, and very well done!

The heck I will!  I spent too much time making it and it's so heavy I'd have to hire a truck to deliver it!

That is a really nice belt bag, one that would come in handy at historical re-enactments to hold my wallet, cell phone (on silent!), and digital camera.  Are the French whitehearts originals?

Sadly, my personna is a town dwelling militia member.  Would be kinda out of place with my other gear.  On the other hand, I think it would look nice as a centerpiece over a Merriam's turkey fan with a pair of crossed eastern two fletch arrows with burlington knapped points *grin*.
