different pouch style

[jasontn]

i found a pouch on track of the wolf recently made by Shawn Webster. it was an open top style with a small strap and nicely quilled. it has a scalloped facing across the top of the pouch and is held shut with a small strap and a button on the rear. i have made 2 of these, not direct copies, but of the same envelope open top style. here are pictures of the ones i have made and of the one i based them on. id like some thoughts on this style pouch as i am thinking of making more of them.i have seen them in the books of buckskinning as well as in an article in muzzloader magazine by Rex Norman. the first photos are what i based my pouches on. the beaded one is made of buckskin with glass e beads. the smaller one has a braided strap and is made of pigskin with a cowhide facing. this one is styled more after the ones in Normans article and the book of buckskinning. thanks for your imput and opinions

thanks for the nice compliments guys. i like this style of pouch but iwonder how pracitcal it is? i have seen at least 4 others on tracks archives like it so i know others make them. the buckskin one caught some attention and i was invited to the davy crockett days by the organizations president who saw it. it seems to me to be a fairly practical style but not so as your normal pouch. i put some stuff in it and it seemed to hold fast pretty well. i only wish i had lined the buckskin one like the pig but oh well live and learn. im trying to broaden my pouch styles and was wondering what you guys thought of this one as far a style and usuabillity.
thanks jason
