Getting Squirrely!

[rabjr]

Just finished up a bag for that crazy horn Stumblin made me. I figured a simple bag was in order and decided to put a button on this one. I also mounted a knife.

David G sent me the small priming horn he made for this rifle, that will live inside the bag. He also sent me a squirrel hide he hand tanned with the hair off. I made a small ball bag from rawhide and then stitched the squirrel hide over that and made an antler piece stopper for it. I like how it came out and hope to drill out the top of the stopper with the correct powder charge after I sight the gun in. Also used a piece of the squirrel hide to make the hammer stall. I had a squirrel hide with hair on that I thought I could use somewhere but it just didn't seem to fit any where. I came close to wrapping the knife sheath with it but decided against it.

Now it joins my other two guns bags. :grin:

Outstanding outfit as are the other two. Nice craftsmanship as usual. You've certainly got total quality outfits with those guns,bags and horns!I'm a gettin envious now......... Has the weather broke enough up your way to do any shootin?

Weathers still crappy. Theres range work going on now so I don't expect to get out till April. I am chompin at the bit though.

I have never worked with or seen tanned squirrel hide but I have skinned enough of them to offer a qualified comment that they are about the toughest hide running around the woods. It should hold up fine.

Was surprised by a little gift in the mail from Grey Whiskers, a nice little patch knife. :thumbsup: Not sure if I'll put it on one of the bags or make a sheath for a nice neck knife. :hmm:
