« on: December 06, 2013, 11:26:03 am »

I got a little blurb up with some pics of my new bag and the background on that project...

While that is not my style, I am very impressed with your workmanship, choice of materials, and the historical accuracy of it.  I don't even want to know how many hours went into it.    I bet Mary would have loved it and be pleased that you used the quills for this bag.

Very nice Isaac ! In the Nov/Dec issue of ML magazine, there was some "Great Lakes" Style Horns and bags - very similar. Bob

How big is it? Enough for a few extra rounds? Good job.

Thanks everyone!  It is about 6x8"  Perfect for my needs and not too big!

Bob, I have not seen that ML mag.  I have not subscribed for years but there are a ton of really nice bags out there from the Great Lakes in different museum and private collections.  I have been collecting images and photos for some time!!
