Daniel Bosques Hunting Pouch with Canadian Cap

This kit contains an American Cherry handled knife, 80g measure in the shape of a Bird-Stone effigy, and pick. The closure is secured with an antique copper button, and the engrailed bottom of the bag is adorned with 2 handmade copper and brass brooches. Measuring 7"x8", capacity is added in the form of a narrow gusset. Stitched with waxed linen, it will naturally acquire a true patina with use. A matching Canadian Cap has been made and slightly decorated to keep the theme constant.

The brown bag with the tree on it was fire poker-etched on both the main flap, and also on the inner natural-edged pocket. It reads "I Am the Vine, ye are the branches", John 15:5... Oddly, another gentleman and I made bags with the identical bible verse etched onto them at around the same time! I saw his bag on the site about 6 months after I made this bag and shipped it to a customer in Tennessee. A cool coincidence.

Just like my historical portrayals, I like to make items that either a Native, Backwoodsmen, or a person of the settlements would have likely had. My main joy is making hunting pouches and their necessary accoutrements, but that doesn't limit me to other things I enjoy making.
