I promised my wife a shot bag some time ago, and finally sat down and put one together. Leather is 3 or 4 oz oil tan cowhide, brass buckle and sewn with linen thread. Here are all the leather pieces cut out Decorative edge cut into the flap and the seam welt Straps sewn onto pouch back Detail of buckle and strap keeper Sewing the front on the pouch, inside out

Do you use a cutting jig to make that decorative edge ? No jig. I just cut them by eye with a large xacto knife. They aren't all exact at all.

Till that day.....

Real nice work there!!! I do have a question on your edge pattern is that just something you thought up or is that a particular historically correct bag. I know the shot pouches in the southern Appalachians were so distinct you can tell where it originated from just from some design features. Thanks That edge design came from an original pouch believed to be made by Tansell. He was much better known for making beautiful powder horns, with fancy throat work and very nice engraving. There was an article in a recent Muzzleloader magazine about the pouch. A southern bearded pouch is on my to do list.
