Any good makers out there?

Check out Jeanne McDonald's website

She does very nice work at a reasonable price. :imo:

 

I just had a friend send me a shooting bag kit made out of...... Elephant hide, kind of unusual.

yeah i went to dixons ml fair and got to see some of his work first hand he does very good stuff

Uh-huh! Rich & Jeanne are a nice young couple really building a good name for themselves - his knives & hawks - and her leather work really compliments it. I've had her do some custom odd & ends for me since I met them at Dixon's last year (hawk blade cover, book cover, repair on a quiver, etc.) and I've always been pleased. Heck, one time she even thought she charged me too much for something and sent a five dollar bill back to me with the item! It's great doing business with honest folks like that. Buy stuff from them now before they get really famous and their prices go up! :winking:

 

Wow, Thanks for the link to their website, I think that those are the best quality knives and hawks I have ever seen, and the leather work is fantastic, I only wish they had something to sell. :boohoo:

Yeah, They do some nice work.
I work in the same building as Rich's mother and about five or six years ago she happened to bring in some of his work. I now own a belt knive with curly maple scales and a belt axe with an beautiful curly ash handle.
He just started working full time at it them and already had a waiting list.

OK yall. Well its been raining all day here so Ive been in the shop. After checking prices...I decided to try my hand at making myself a bag.I had some elk leftover from my shoepacs I did a while back and it ended up being just enough for a bag and strap. Had an old buckle in the shop too so here it is. Ill tell ya though...these are some sore fingers on this child!

Yeah... here's another like that :results:, Ken Scott Hunting Pouches & Accoutrements

I'm not saying they're not worth it - fine art commands a price - but have any of you ever paid $1200 for a hunting pouch? :shocking: Would any of you pay $1200 for a hunting pouch?

 

[Slamfire]

I haven't paid $1200 for my entire outfit. :crackup:

 

[onefeather]

[Deadeye]

Looks good and should be just about right for what you wanted it for. :hatsoff:

That's a nice bag! :grey: Looks like its perfect for a early southern mountain rifle. David Esau just made me a dark-colored little shooting bag to go with the Tennessee squirrel flinter.

What's the story on your new rifle? I might have missed the post.
