Traditional haversack bag i just finished
« on: January 31, 2011, 07:32:00 PM »
Heres a traditional style haversack I just recently finished for a friend to carry on hunts... Thought I would show it off for input   :)  
Its made of a heavy cotton wool homespun cloth and lined with brown walnut dyed linen and beeswaxed, all handsewn with linen thread. Contains a journal, knife and fire tin

Handy things.  I have three and you can keep an old towel in them to turn it into a game pouch.  Keep a few plastic bags to pack out a deer's heart & liver, or just load it up with your kit and cookware to roast a squirrel on a one-day "survival" hunt on the back hill.

Always good to know a source for handy items.     :thumbsup:

Very nice looking work.  If we can ever get our schedules to aline we need to get together and do some shooting.  I'd like to see your work in person too.
