That bag looks like one that Jim Webb makes.

That is very nice, sort of a Celtic look with the thistle.

Who is the maker?

Unfortunately I don't know the artisan, but the bag came from Vernon Davis's shop in the Cincinnati Ohio area. Mr Davis was a long time supplier/vendor/builder of fine muzzleloaders and accoutrements.

Yes, it's a thistle and the design on the body of the bag is tree of life.

That bag looks like one that Jim Webb makes.

I did a search and found several examples of bags by Jim Webb that are very similar. The tree of life design and diamond stitching appear on several. This also has a leather tag as seen on his bags as well. So, very likely one of his bags and seems in line with the quality of goods offered in Davis's shop.

Very nice work! Looks like buckskin leather?

Beautiful work!

Nicest bag I think I've ever seen

Can not believe this bag has not sold. I know Jim Webb and His wife. They live in Hillsville Va not far from me. There is double or triple the work in one of Jims bags compared to others.
He has wild pets that open his back door and come into the house for grahm crackers with peanut butter on them. Groundhogs, Coons, and a bear comes on his back porch a lot of times.
I have his contact info if anyone needs to verify this bag.

This lovely bag is sold pending funds.

I have one of Jim Web's bags and it looks very similar to mine. Grew up in Grayson county and see Jim and his wife about once or twice a year. I too have seen the animals come up to the back door looking for their grahm crackers. Someone should be very proud to have that bag.

The thistle was very common with the Scottish. Wish I had the funds!
