Effigy ball/shot pouch #2

This simple ball or shot pouch is made from a homespun pattern fabric, and has a cane spout secured with a linen thread.  The spout plug is carved from hardwood.

Hawk sheath

This is a hawk sheath with a shoulder strap.  It is made from cowhide with a rawhide liner.  The user requested a Lenape Turtle symbol on the flap.  I based the simple stitched design from one reportedly shown on a map drawn by a Munsee prophet dated 1760 (http://www.nj.com/news/ledger/index.ssf?/specialprojects/lenape/symbols.html).

Pigskin & ticking pouch with original horn

The flap and back of this pouch are made from pigskin.  The front is made from pillow ticking that has been tin-clothed.  The strap was made by Kris Polizzi.  The original horn has a rosette carved into the base plug.  An antique table knife has been re-purposed as a patch knife and there is a 45 grain cane measure.  The flap is decorated with the image of a moon and owl.

 

Double ball or shot bag

This is a copy of a ball or shot pouch with two compartments as seen in Karl Z Smith's "Gettin' The Lead Out".  The author states that the pouch has a South Carolina origin.   A wide combination of lead projectiles can be stored in this pouch.  I made the bag out of vegetable tanned pigskin.  The turned antler spout was made by Orville Mumma which I aged slightly.

 

Kidney shape bag #3

This pouch is made from cowhide.  The flap has a rolled pigskin binding and a ticking lining. There is an inside pocket on the back.

Open-top Pouch #2

Open top pouch made from tin-clothed hemp (interior lined with linen) and pigskin.
