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.

Newest Pieces!

Here are two new holsters recently finished. The first is for a Colt SAA with a 7 1/2 inch barrel the second is for an 1851 Colt Navy. The first holster is my version of the famous Jesse James holster. This was the holster James had in his posession when he was killed by Robert Ford. The second is a Frontier inspired California style holster in dark brown with brain tanned Antelope hide used for the fringe.

Two Plains Indian style knife sheaths made for Green River trade knives.

The second sheath is leather with a rawhide inner sheath decorated in the same fashion as the first.
