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.
