very nice , is that pillow ticking for the liner ? Not pillow ticking, just a cotton stripe that I had in a bin of period correct fabrics. Traditional ticking would be blue and white stripes, and almost a canvas type weave. I have yards of that for patching in my flintlocks.

That's cool. Buckskin is a great material but tricky to work with.
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

That's cool. Buckskin is a great material but tricky to work with. Definitely different than cloth. Some things are easier, some things are more difficult, some things are just different. Don't need seam allowances if using whip stitching, don't need to hen raw edges, but can't really pin pieces together. And you have to plan for the different thicknesses and stretch. It's been a learning experience for sure.

K Snow how did you get started making that cool stuff? Were just getting into the home tanning zero experience in that craft if you don't mind sharing I sure would appreciate a start point It all started when I was 10 or so in Boy Scouts. Got really interested in Indian Lore. That evolved into primitive skills and powwow dancing. Then when I took up muzzleloaders, I got into American frontier history. I learned most everything from books. Didn't have internet when I first started. Primitive Archer magazine was a great resource in its day. It's been a great journey so far. I'll help anyone with anything. I'm not really an expert at any one thing. But I love to help people learn.
