nice job on the bag!
from the pic, those cones look well made too, did you use a sharpened dowel to form them?
when i'm working on things my ancestors worked, singing the songs my ancestors sang, dancing the same dances, speaking the same language, only then  I feel connected to the land, THIS land, where my ancestors walked for thousands of years...

     Beautiful!  J.W. Is at this very moment, figuring out what he can entice you into trading for it!  It might go something like this....... " Wow, that would go so nice with my .69 cal. flintlock,........ and my Cousin's knife!"  Just as soon as I can figure some way to con him out of it.... ::) ;D  So........ "uh, I have this bag of beautiful Meriams wing feathers, ok, I will throw in a couple of tail feathers too.  How about a genuine hand made gun rack, made with two turkey legs, and feet, with the middle toe extended on each?  "Quite a conversation starter".......... Just think of all the wonderful evenings, you can spend in your easy chair, with a drink of your choice, your feet up on the ottoman, and admiring the fine gun rack, you out traded me on." ;)  "Won't that be fun?"

     Just be careful.  ;) That is a great looking bag, and very well done!

The heck I will!  I spent too much time making it and it's so heavy I'd have to hire a truck to deliver it!

That is a really nice belt bag, one that would come in handy at historical re-enactments to hold my wallet, cell phone (on silent!), and digital camera.  Are the French whitehearts originals?

Sadly, my personna is a town dwelling militia member.  Would be kinda out of place with my other gear.  On the other hand, I think it would look nice as a centerpiece over a Merriam's turkey fan with a pair of crossed eastern two fletch arrows with burlington knapped points *grin*.
