Shot Pouch #161 by Eric Fleisher

I attached some photos of my most recent shot pouch project. 

I was recently commissioned to make a bench copy of original shot pouch that was recovered from an estate in Somerset County, Pennsylvania.  The bag is 8 1/4" wide by 8" high.  The bag is made from vegetable tanned harness leather, like the original. There is a center divider in the bag.  The strap is attached with the smooth side of the leather against the carrier's body.

These are photos of my latest shot pouch.  I was just finished.  It is based on the German dew claw style bags.  This one is 11" wide and 10 1/2" high.  The flap inlay is hair on calf hide.

Eric will be at the 18th Century Artisans Show in Lewisburg, PA.

Shot Pouch and Ball Bag by Jerry Polizzi

Here are some pictures of a shot pouch and ball bag I made recently. They both have turned spouts and plugs of osage orange wood.  As you will see the ball bag(left) is made with hair-on calf hide.

Horn Effigy Shot Pouch by Eric Ewing

This small bag for holding shot or small rifle balls is made of single piece of cowhide folded over and its spout made from the tip of a horn.  It inspired by a shot pouch in the book "Gettin' The Lead Out" by Karl Z. Smith.  A crude effigy spout plug is carved from a piece of maple.
