Another beauty! Man I just love this sort of stuff. Makes for an easy day in the field when you are not going far. I put a little snack pack together and carry that in mine also.

Looks great, all done the old fashioned way. Many dont know how time consuming this stuff can be without using modern techniques. Triple thumbs up, love it.

The process to make a bag like this all hand done and the proper aging process thakes me about 4 to five days to make it correctly and have the look of being an old origonal...

Really nice job!
A true vintage possibles bag.
You have inspired me to begin my possibles bag project of duplicating a small,cotton/canvas,Swedish army surplus shoulder bag, which is known as a "bread bag", into the same, but in leather.

Wow you did it! Have a few of leather but not as nice. Really like the original rustic look, wax coat, & outside pockets.

Thanks guys!!!!
Ive made quite a few for people lately.. It makes me very happy to make a bag for someone they will love and use.. and I do take orders for them on my website as making museum quality replicas is what I do full time.

wapitimike1, I will post some of the string pouches  :)
Thanks
Ken
