new shooting bag

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.

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,

Spotted dog....Did you use the quebraco bark tan powder?I've done it both ways.Quebraco and oak bark.The oak bark tannin extraction is a bit more work and time but the same results happen.
