Open-top Pouch #2

Open top pouch made from tin-clothed hemp (interior lined with linen) and pigskin. Cowhide strap adjusts with antique bone buttons and is tied to the bag with hemp rope as is the powder horn made by Pete Hutton.  A copper vent pick and cane measure are attached to the bag.  There is a small hanging pocket stitched into the pigskin along the inside top.

Ticking & Barktan Bag

This pouch is made with mostly ticking fabric, and has a flap and a back panel of barktan deer hide.  There is a layer of linen inside as well to give it some extra strength.  The basic design was inspired by a pouch shown in Jim Webb's book on southern pouches and accoutrements.  The overall size is 6 1/2" wide by 7" tall.  The strap is made from hemp webbing and to it I attached a length of stained leather cord with a forged vent pick and a carved antler powder measure.  The small green horn was made by Pete Hutton.
