[PEARL DRUMS]

I wrapped my offering up this weekend. I'm excited to ship it out. I didn't post pics, no clues for anybody!

Finished mine this weekend and found a box to wrap and mail it in. I'll mail it out in a couple weeks.
Hope the fellow likes it.

I'm not sure if I'll get time to finish what I originally started. I have a lot of projects going on right now but I think my recipient will like what I'm putting together. They always say that you give what you'd like to get and I'd be happy getting this. Hope he not a vegetarian and likes pepper cause one of the bags involve both. Still trying for plan A but man I've been busy and can't see anything letting up anytime soon

MMMMM, Non vegetarian peppery bag!

[BowEd]

My kind of knife Jo Jo.
Bjrogg....You got us all wondering there....lol.
Here's a progress report on the possibles bag.Not finished yet but getting there.A few pics from the start of it.It's an 8" by 8" bag that'll have a carrying strap on it and a flattened .54 cal. ball flattened out sewn onto the inside of it's nose for a closure flap.Good old prime Iowa coon hide pouch.Should serve it's purpose.A lot of pics just for a simple bag but here it is.





and final pic with the strap on.

I see a couple of details changed since I mentioned back on page 6 about this bag.Did'nt line it with more leather because the coons' leather is plenty sound and thick.I used a black I think nylon belt strap for the carrying strap too.Won't stretch when wet and it'll last.

[bjrogg]

Man that is gonna look so good and functional too. That possibles bag should make someone very happy Ed and last more than a lifetime. (Unlike the bag of non vegetarian pepper)lol.

[BowEd]

Well I hope so bjrogg.It's made to use that's for sure.Non vegetarian pepper??.....you got me....ha ha ha.
Pearly....Must be something pretty nice you got planned.
Lots of very nice hand made stuff I've seen on here.

[cabinetbowguy]

[BowEd]

Whom is this going to???I thought that was a secret....ha ha ha.I don't know who's making something for me yet.

[selfbow joe]

That come out really nice.

[BowEd]

Thanks fellas.
Aaron....Just a cardboard template of 8" by 8" is used to make this along with some hand stitching.Here's the placements of the pattern.Then after it's cut out using a knife from the flesh side[not a scissors as you'll cut the hair] it's sewn together inside out and then inverted.I keep the head and tail intact with each patterned piece while constructing also.This type of layout of the pattern makes the grain of the hair lay downward properly for the best look.Pics.


I used artificial sinew with a glovers needle to sew it up.

[Stringman]

done.
