Antiqued Black Powder Hunting Pouch

Here is a recently completed hunting pouch made with an antiqued brown finish. The pouch has a two inch strap and square antique brass buckle. The pouch is also lined with period style striped ticking. The two woven straps were made by Suze Boesche who on top of doing an amazing job was a real pleasure to work with! I was able to have the straps completely custom made to my width, color and material. Thanks again Suze! Suze left the straps unfinished and I added the leather tabs to secure the powder horn. Anyone interested in these reproduction pouches email me at Rossjbr@yahoo.com for pricing and options. If you are interested in having Suze make you one of these amazing straps you can contact her at Mamazu@bulloch.net you won't be disappointed.

Antiqued Western Rig

This rig was ordered recently by a customer who requested that it have an antique look. The set was distressed by hand to give it an aged look and feel. The holsters are for a Colt SAA with 5 1/2 inch barrels and they are decorated with antiqued brass conchos and spots as well as an antiqued brass buckle on the belt.

Here is another Antiqued set with a single loop holster made for a Berretta Stampede with a 3 1/2 in. barrel.

Black Powder Bag and Powder Horn

I recently tried my hand at building a powder horn. The process was a little more work than I anticipated but a learning experience none the less. Here are some photos of the process from the filing and carving of the horn to the dying. I used white pine for the end plug and an old fiddle peg for the spout end. I also hand forged a staple for the wooden plug end to connect a strap to. The possibles bag in the photo was built by me also. The bag is a copy of an 18th century design with a distressed finish to simulate an aged look complete with an antiqued brass period style buckle. Anyone interested in ordering these bags you can contact me at rossjbr@yahoo.com they are available lined with period style ticking fabric or unlined.

Well it's been a while since I have updated here. The last couple months have been busy and I am still trying to catch up on orders. All those who have orders with me currently I appreciate your patience and your business!! Thank You!

Here are a few of my more recent rigs I've completed. The first is a Scout style belt with cartridge loops extending the full length of the belt, 50 rounds of .45 LC! The holster is a single loop for a Colt SAA with a 5 1/2 in. barrel both done in dark brown. The second was a matching set holster and sheath combo. The set was done in saddle tan with nickel accents.
