Converted Saddle Holster with Flintlock Pistol by Jack Hansberry

The premise behind this piece is that one part of a pair of saddle holsters was removed and repurposed into a shoulder-worn holster for a flintlock pistol with the addition of a belt.
The 54 caliber flintlock pistol was made by Hudson Valley gunmaker Jack Hansberry.

#115 - 1st Prize Pouch and Horn Set for the 20th Annual Shandaken Primitive Biathlon

I was honored to be asked to make the 1st Prize for the 20th Annual Shandaken Primitive Biathlon for the second time.  I constructed a double pouch made from cowhide with a calf hair flap.  The screwtip powder horn was generously donated by Ron Hess, and I aged it to match the condition of the pouch.
