#118 - Pouch with Ron Hess Horn

Last year I brought two deer hides from hunting season to a tannery in Montgomery, NY named Pergamena (https://www.pergamena.net/).  They tanned both hides using chestnut tannins, which makes for a much different color and texture than typical commercial vegetable tanned hides.  That leather was used to make this pouch.  The strap was made Kris Polizzi and the banded horn by Ron Hess; both were aged by me.  The pouch also has an antique buckle.
