Fowling/Smoothbore Bag

[Capt. Jas.]

Another bag headed to the CLA show.
This is a large fowling bag made of premium hand burnished calf. The flap is decorated with a tooled William and Mary period styled shell design surrounded by raised butt stitching. The hand decorated shell motif is also carried out through much of the trim work. There are two exterior flapped pockets with original buttons and an inside pocket. The edged, creased and burnished strap wears a large, engraved brass buckle made by my hand.

I can't speak for the rest of the members but I can tell you that I'm NOT a gentleman. A bag that super fine would be a waste on me. I'd be afraid to even touch that great bag.

 

[Brokennock]

Unreal. That is truly incredible work.
I can't imagine the hours and effort spent. I wouldn't even know where to start to do that decor on the flap.

I'm truly speechless!

Hey bud, I can vouch for what Hanshi said.

 

[Daryl Crawford]

That is art, not something I'd take to the field. I know you made it for use, and it's quality is without question, but man I'd be angry if I scratched that up!
You are skilled!

Now THAT'S a bag!

 

[slspletskp]

Incredible!

James,

You have gone beyond remarkable craftmanship with that pouch, that is sheer Artistry!

Truly gorgeous work! I've done quite a bit of leatherwork but couldn't make a piece as beautiful as that.
