Hears my bag...nothing fancy, just usable space. It's 8.5" wide by 9" long, made of chap leather, no gusset, one pocket. The straps and buckle are riveted on as I feel it's a stronger way then sewing for this purpose. The bag is what's called heart shaped.

Here is my BEAVERMAN made shooting bag. I sent him the knives, and he made the bag with the sheaths to my specifications. This is the only bag I have so far.

That a beauty! Tell us a little about it if you don't mind...like how many compartment's, pocket's or not, the size...oh, and could we see a photo of the back please? Thanks,
Ned
O.K. here is the back side.
(http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee43/MELZDAD/ACCOUTREMENTS/00025006.jpg)
If you look close you can see the stitching of the two inside pockets on the rear of the bag. The knife in the picture is the first knife I ever made. I have replaced it with the one in the picture above. It is a little more period appropiate looking.
I also had a matching flint wallet made to complete the package.

Thank you, this makes it easier for we old fogies to visualize what you have...and copy it! ;D lol lol
Ned
I am not sure what the dimensions are. I am guessing maybe 7"x8", I will measure it when I get home.
here is a few of mine

Tom is a leather stichin maniac! Great pouches, everyone!
Yes he is! And he has a fertile imagination...which is why they all look different. If we tried making that many we'd have a lot of duplications.
Ned
Heres some I swapped Tom outa :

I have another bag and horn outfit Tom made for me that is excellent but cant find a pic of it :(
Had to have a bag for each long gun :)
Like I've said over and over...Tom does beautiful, unique work! You're lucky to own so many of his bags.
Ned
First of all I usually carry a bag when I go hunting. My mom made me a denim bag when I was a young-un to carry shells and squirrels,rabbits, quail or whatever I found while hunting. She is 79 years old now and made these two cloth bags for me about two years ago when I started getting back into the M/L guns
(http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u247/jbullard1954/Acoutraments/Picture010-2.jpg)
I traded a friend on the TMA a couple of knives for these
(http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u247/jbullard1954/Acoutraments/Picture012.jpg)
Here is one my mom made and my Tom Green bobcat bag with the Blesbok powder horn from South Africa
(http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u247/jbullard1954/Acoutraments/Picture008-1.jpg)
I also have a Tom H bag in my possesion but it is for my grand daughter LuLu

You have some beauts Jerry! Which one do you use most often?
Ned
All I have is a plain old store bought bag from Cabela's.........not even worht posting a picture of really.

The cloth camo bag has seen a lot of field time
The light brown bag is setup for 54 cal caplock and my bobcat bag is for BraveHeart
If you look in the lower right corner you can see the weeping heart with a "B" in it
David, post it anyway. This isn't a post to show off...what we need are bags that get use. Dont make no never mind whar she came from...we wanna see her!
Ned
this is a bag and horn set i made for frank he ask that i post it for him------------

Tom,
Always meant to try making a double bag...just never got around to it. Was it much more work then a single with gusset and two compartments?
Ned
Thanks Tom !!! Thats goin with 'Ginnie' on the 4th of Oct. to make meat !
ned to me it is actually simpler to make i just dont like sewing in gussets im thinking ranger has made a few maybe he will voice his thoughts on it. but to me it is easier ;D
Man there are alot of fantastic bags posted so far.
I'm with Tom on this one. Gussets are a straight pain in the butt to get lined up straight and keep them straight. Then there's the fact that all your crap is thrown together in one big bag. It's much easier to organize in 2 smaller compartments and you still have all the room. I also have plans for a double bag that i will post in the patern forum for folks to use. Just a note on those patterns I make, they are VERY easy to change. If you don't like the flap style, simply draw another with the same proportions. Just my thoughts...
The only bag I have made got taken away by my grand daughter Haley back in the summer
(http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u247/jbullard1954/Guns%20and%20Shooting/HPIM3469.jpg)
That bag couldn't have gone to a better place.
Prettied our bags up awhile back with some nice iron.
(http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm282/RoaringBull_photos/Guns%20and%20Such/100_0580.jpg)
David,
That's cheating! No fair including your rifles! :D Are those Pedersoli and Lyman from Cabelas? The upper one looks like my Cabelas Kentucky, and I think the bottom one is a Cabelas Hawken...am I right?
Ned
Cabela's Kentucky, Traditions Hawken.couldn't find a lefty in North Texas anywhere........had to order it on-line....had a few bugs but we got'er knocked out and shooting great now.
If I'm not prying...who's the lefty?
Ned
Wild Bull.........shoots left but is a righty at everything else......left-eye dominant
Thats the way of it with me also. Left eyed...but ambidextrous.
Ned
I think they have some pills for that dextrose stuff you have ;D
Thanks Jerry, your a lot of help! ::)
Ned
i like that Ned.
Bernie :)
Thank you Bernie...you have good taste! ;D :o ;D
Ned
Ned,
I got a nice double pouch pattern I can forward to you...pt me your email if you like!
Thanks bw, I'd like that! My email button is the center button just under my photo.
Ned
Thats a good looking bag Jason...what size is it? And it looks like a fairly short strap...how high do you wear it?
Ned
thanks ned. the bag is about 9 inches tall maybe 7 wide. the strap is about 40 inches long, the bottom of the bag is about belt level. its for my small rifle.
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET..................
long as it was just cow hide not bull hide............lol
well after going through about a dozen bags i think i've settled on these. the first one,made by my pard jasontn is my smallgame bag for huntin' with my .32's. the second one is my deer huntin' rig for the .50, third is my fowling pouch,also made by jason. and last is my strike-a-lite bag i sewed up from some scraps i had.

Very nice bags, david. I noticed that your wearing traditional clothing in your avatar...maybe you'd like to post your photo in Rendezvous Clothing. You will earn 10 post's by doing so. Do one more post and you will be able to see the board.
Ned
Fine looking wares there gentlemen!!
nice shooting bags everyone. Thats on my things to do list, my puppy chewed up my old bag, so all i have is my turtle shell bag, if i do rendezvous it does'nt really fit the time frame. I went from western mountainman to eastern longhunter. later slap happy
Hi everyone! I'll try and send a photo of my turtle shell bag(http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq127/m_bobey/familypics580.jpg)
Good looking, unique bag slap happy! Is it divided inside or one compartment?
Ned
Hi Ned! It's divided inside. It's different, i have not seen one like it. later slap happy
I likeit!!!
cool turtle bag. well i decided that moping around all day over my boy wont solve anything he called me last night had a good long talk turns out the new dad is a trucker/ preacher and holds services at truck stops on Sundays -Malissia has given her life to the lord also maybe this is the reason all this happened any way Kevin is very happy and coming home for Christmas vac for two weeks now that said while i was trying to find way to pass time i watched robin doing some cross stitch so i had her to help me make a re pro of a bag that hangs in an old Vermont Inn where we spent some time the bag is 8"x10" and made from some old tapestry it has a cross stitched pea fowl on the front with hemp web strap any way here are a few pictures of it and thanks for all the encouragement in getting through my problem.

Tom, You are a very busy man! Very good work! We have a question about haversacks in the "Requests" forum. It would be cool if you could show folks your knapsack and bedroll setup in that forum for some of the less experienced folks. That is a very good job, by the way, on the gear.
Thanks Ranger, Ill do that.
Ill take some more detailed pics and post them.
The bedroll contains a 5 x 9 piece of 10 oz. canvas,a 5 x 6 piece of canvas for a ground cloth and a medium weight wool blanket.
Thank you very much kind sir. 8)
Your welcome Adam.
Here's my main bag.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v502/sniper68/HPIM2322.jpg)
Good looking bag Jim! But, like I keep telling every one, we have an immense amount of space for photos...you don't need to worry about the size at all. I'd love to see more detail on some of these bag photos!
Nice lookin rig little jim !!
Very nice bag.
Very nice bag and horns, Jim! 8)
awesome......could we get a close up of the star?
I've finally got a bag I can show. ;D I did a little trading and after a few modifications this is what I ended up with. There are still a few more things I'm thinking about doing but that can wait. I'm ready to go squirrel hunting next week.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v68/Ironwood/For%20BB%20Posting/MyBag.jpg)
Nice bag Gene, but I still like the one from your daughter's purse.
Ned
You got it fixed up real good Gene
That's really nice Gene. I love the way the powder measuer is attached.
Thanks guys. I still have a couple of things I would to do with it.
Ned.... first I have to get rid of two things you objected to. Before I can show that bag. :D
Very nice Gene!
Very nice bag. What is the dowel on the strap for? To start balls with a mallet?
Mike
Mike that's a short starter for the .32 caliber.
Guess ill post a pic or 2 of the bag I finished for myself earlier this year, took it to a shoot for the first time in June and had a friend buy it right off my shoulder, its made from 10/12 oz buffalo, pewter button, steel buckle, knives were made by me along with the matching buffler powder horn,

You're a pretty talented feller. really like that strap on the horn.
I just love that horn. Good job.
Man! That's one good looking outfit! Bag, knives, and powder horn!
I like the bag and horn, nice job.
Thanks fellas, some of you have seen this before elsewhere, need to get on the ball and make myself another new bag ifn I can find the time away from orders from others.
Beautiful work!
My first and only(so far)

Well here are my only two bags to date:
This was made for me by one of the Tom's a year ago...

(http://i609.photobucket.com/albums/tt180/JamminJim_photo/leather%20and%20crafts/DSCN1829.jpg)
It is a single pouch with a small pocket inside...
This one I made myself out of some scrap canvas I had and a hand woven strap and beadwork Bulldog Lady helped me with...

It has a small pocket on the inside as well
I don't know; there's just something about that canvass bag that I like. My level of craftsmanship is pretty laughable but I want to do another canvass bag myself. I think mine will be very plain; I'm good at "plain".
I look at it this way... It's all I could afford right now... trappins been kinda scarce!
I can hear some ol boy meeting up at the nearest fort sayin those words...

Peabody, I'm the guy who made this bag, send me a pm, we'll talk
wow
PEABODY STOP! don't do it! If you get a bag from Leathermonger you will be spoilt! He only makes exceptional quality items...
People have been known to drool over the bags he makes... Only get one of his bags if your going to turn around and have him send it to me.. ROFL, I'm willing to take all the risks that a bag of his creates.... cuch
In other words He is a fine person and will do you a beautiful bag.....
STOP THAT JJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!my heads big enough already!!!!!!!!!!!!! ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL
Jim is that a snap closure on that bag??
Quote from: Bull on February 01, 2010
Jim is that a snap closure on that bag??
Dave, thats a lead disc to weight the flap so the flap hangs down, Brian did not want a button or buckle on it, the weight helps keep the flap down when walking in the woods
Cooooool!!
these are all some really nice bags ,i'll post some of mine when i get better at making them...lol ! chrrs
Some nice bags here! I gotta get to work!
