Snapping turle possibles bag
« on: August 10, 2013, 09:46:32 pm »
I was so impressed with Beadmans snapping turle pouch that I made one for myself. Some folks call this a man purse, I'm okay with that because I know what type of man  mess with snappers, The hardest part was getting the turtle evicted ;D Thanks for lookin an thanks Beadman for the great idea. Later Bob

nice work!  I am impressed.  I assume top section of leather is loose to permit hand access, right?

thanks for sharing.

Swamp, top is open just reach in an getta ya some turtle, ;D I thought about some kinda flap but it would hide the shell somewhat. I also had to alter the bottom shell alittle to get my fat hand inside. If I ever get ambish an do another i got lots of other ideas, they are a lot of work :(. Bob

Note to self:  snapping turtle bags are hard to make even after turtle is evicted.  :o Got it!   ;)

Nice job outback.I like it.That'll last ya some years for sure.Was that a 20 to 25 pound turtle?They're a nice size for good sized pouches.Looking forward to seeing what kind of use or twist you can do on your next one.They are a lot of work for sure.
I've heard it said that the neck skin on them will make a very good bow string.I hav'nt tried it though.

Beadman, I also heard that necks make great strings but becareful where you store your string, Mice must love turtle strings :(  Didn't weigh turtle but I'm guessing in the 20-25# range.  Bob
