mountain man gear

howdy yall,
i aint had a compooter lately so i can't make many post, but i have been keeping myself busy with projects.
here is a double shooting pouch that i made from some of my brain tan. it has black and white 6/0 beads and i lined it with russian sheeting. my good pard allen harrison made the powder horn from a buffalo horn. my pard cody livingston made the deer horn stoper. deer horn powder measure i drilled out to hold 50 grains of the all so holy black powder.
allen also made the twisted "turnscrew" and the oval striker. i made the belt from a old saddle and add one of will ghormley's brass hand of Gods buckle. i copied the knife sheath from a old a.j. miller painting.  i have my original wilson butcher in sheath. the small braintan pouch is trimed in blue and white 6/0 beads and holds my old arkansas wet stone
