@TDM, great looking work!
Wish I had seen this earlier as I have had no luck finding decent strap lately and just settled for cotton strap from Joan's (wanted jute or hemp..). I used black walnut to dye with and waiting for it to dry (it's for an axe bag). I forgot all about lamp wick!
Nice sewing all way round and that flint wallet is top notch!

Thanks. I get that 1” lantern wick from Amazon. I’ve used it on a couple of powder horns too. I use Rit dye on it. Very strong stuff.

A while back I received a beautiful Elk hide in a trade I made with @deerstalkert. Finally got around to using some of it. The bag is 9” deep x 9 1/2” wide. Hand saddle stitched with trade bead and bone adornment. The strap is 1” lantern wick dyed brown with bronze D rings. I also made a new flint wallet with some of the trimmings.

BUD, you got it going on,keep up the good work,but stay cool .

Thanks. And staying cool is why I’m making all this stuff now. I don’t dare go outside this time of year. I just stay in my inside (air conditioned) shop!

That lamp wick is great. You got me thinking about making straps for my powder horn, or maybe an attempt at a possibles bag to take all my...possibles.
