Handmade Leather Shooting/Hunting Bag #131

This is another unique, completely handmade and handsewn with waxed linen thread, leather hunting or shooting bag. This bag is an example of the saddle bag type of shooting bag. The bag is made from 3-4oz veg tanned cowhide. The straps are made from 5-6oz veg tanned cowhide. The bag measures 8 1/2 inches wide at the middle and 8 1/4 inches from top to bottom. The buckle strap measures 12 3/4 inches long, 1 1/4 inches wide, and features an aged solid brass buckle. The two piece strap measures 55 inches long, 1 1/4 inches wide, and features 9 holes for adjustment. The bag features include, a 1 3/4 inch wide gusset that tapers to 1 inch, an aged brass buckle, aged brass rivets, and a period correct oil and beeswax finish. I have given the bag and straps a dark brown stain.
Everything has been done completely by hand. It has been cut, sewn with waxed linen thread, dyed, and finished by hand, no machines or assembly line methods used at all just to save time.
