So I made this welted, short fringed bag inthe mountain man style I like. I did not follow any particular patterns, simply made it in the style I like. There is a extra small inside pocket on the back. The bag is about 8" wide X 6" high. The leather is a soft water buffalo skin. There were a couple of holes in the skin and I used those as a feature, filling one with a small piece of what looks like snake skin.
It is all handsewn, with waxed linen thread, I hand forged the rings out of some mild steel and the buckle I used is a small square brass one a friend gave me.
That's a very nice looking sheath and an original design too. It has echoes of fur trade style
ReplyDeleteThanks Sam. The fur trade is where I get my inspiration from for some of the stuff I make. Not tried to copy any originals on this one, just made it "in the style of".
ReplyDeleteI'll write another post when I got what I am thinking in it.
That's really lovely. It's got that warm worn look to it. The desing is a perfect match for that brilliant wee axe. Cool!
ReplyDeleteLove the little axe Joel, and the bag and sheath look great. Well done. Looks like it will be a pleasure to carry in the woods.
