Matebele, very nice work. The broadhead wallet is a good idea.

Do you have a picture of the inside of Your bow case we could see? Thanks

Thanks for the kind words gents!

Here you go Bretto:

 

The velcro straps will hold the limbs and the way the zips are done means I can open the bag out flat to use it as a mat when putting the bow together...bit tricky getting it closed but once you get the zips started its ok. The leather lining is chrome tanned goats leather with the shiny side showing...I think the next one will have the suede side showing.

Vter I get the leathers from a local tannery here, you have to have a special permit to purchase game skins since dealing in them is controlled by CITES.

Beautiful gear. The artwork is very impressive too. I especially like the broadhead pouch. Were these all skins from animals you took?
