Small pigskin pouch

This pouch is made from lightweight pigskin and is 6" wide by 6.5" tall. The inside back is lined with a homespun fabric and there is a small hanging pocket of ticking. The strap is adjusted by a wooden button sewn onto the back of the bag.





Re-worked Ticking and Barktan Bag

After some thought I decided to rework this pouch: http://ewingscreekpouches.blogspot.com/2013/09/ticking-barktan-bag.html.
I added a thinner strap of cowhide with an iron buckle, and a small homespun fabric pocket hanging inside for caps, balls, etc. I also waterproofed the ticking with a mixture of beeswax and boiled linseed oil. This was donated as a prize for the 17th Annual Shandakan Primitive Biathlon.
