Shot bag

[stone knife]

This is my first attempt to make a bag of any kind. I still need a strap for it but don't have any material yet for it. It holds more #6 shot than i want to put in it, I made it from stuff I had around the house because I hate to wast good materials. The leather came from a used back quiver the loops to hold the strap are elk hide, the wood neck is a drilled out spool from thread and the plug I made from an old wood pin that came out of a barn. Does anyone make straps that would work for my pouch?

Not inexpensive but very well made and in good colors.

Nice looking bag Jim. It should serve you well. How the heck did you find an old wooden thread spool? I don't think they have been made in a lot of years. :thumbsup:

BTW. You could weave your own strap on an Inkle loom. It would be a little more self satisfying to have made the whole rig. Your choice. :hmm:

Barbour thread (linen) still comes on wood spools. :hatsoff:


(Leastwise the last time I bought some it did).

What's an Inkle loom?

Here is an instruction video on the Inkle loom. It's not to difficult to make up a loom with scrap lumber.
