great looking bag, how hard is it to work with rawhide?

Post by: Plainsman on February 29, 2012
Rawhide is pretty easy to work with, when wet of course.

All veg tanned leather, with rawhide trim and pillow ticking lined. This was my first attempt at something like this. I'm very happy with how it came out.

Stays closed with the antler crown and chevron beaded leather throng

Pocket on the front, under the flap as well as one inside

I plan to make another smaller one, using a coyote face for the flap.

Do you have a pocket on the back of the bag, as well as one inside and another on the front???
Or my old eyes not telling my old brain what they are seeing???
I am in the process of getting the parts cut out for a bag and am absorbing any and all info I can!!    flwa

Post by: Plainsman on March 22, 2012
Yes sir, (3) pockets total, besides the main one. The one on the inside is for little things like jags and what not. The one on the back contains a flint and steel set. And the one on the front is for whatever.

That looks incredibly good! What did you use for the brass "dot" decoration? Are those upholstery tacks - and if so how did you close off the pointy side?

Post by: Plainsman on May 17, 2012
Yes brass upholstery tacks. I put them in before lining it with the pillow ticking, and cut off the extra and peened them flat, then put the ticking on.
