It's a shot/ball [strike]pouch[/strike] bulb; I mean what else would you call it? Looks kinda like a sea slug to me. Didn't start off this way but it sure ended up this way.

This is a belt pouch for ball/flints/patches/etc. It has a deer antler closure button.
 
I likes em. What kind of leather did you use on the shot bag? :thumbsup:
 
I used scrap leather that was pretty stiff. The "bulb" turned out as hard as wood. I soak some bags in water so they dry a little stiff but didn't do such a good job on this one and it turned into something from the black lagoon.
 
I'm of the opinion that if it does the job it was a job well done. Function is more important as far as I'm concerned. If it looks good but doesn't work worth a darned, what good is it? :thumbsup:

BTW. I really like the belt pouch. May just have to make me one (or 2)
