My new shooting bag of bark tanned deer. Still drying from a dye bath. The small one for flints the larger for tools.
Hand sewn with waxed linen thread.
The strap is adjustable with antler buttons. Has a pan brush and vent pick too.

Post by: Spotted Dog on December 18, 2015, 10:18:13 am: It has hand forged furniture. Open iron sights too. It's a copy of a Joseph Bogel gun from the 1790s.
A good Southern rifle. Curly maple stock. I burnished the wood with a deer leg bone,
