Nice!  I am working on one myself.  Trying to use some old deer skins.  Not sure how it will look in the end.  Thanks for the inspiration!

Good job Charlie!  There's something about using a haversack that just screams bowhunting.  I like the feeling of one hanging on my side.  Thanks for sharing your skills with us!     :clapper:

Way to go, Charlie!!!  That's a very well thought out, designed, and functional haversack.  There's a lot of self satisfaction when you make your own gear/equipment-it adds so much to the whole "hunting experience".

I made this bag last year. Bison leather is really thick and hard to hand sew, but most of this one is!!

Looks great!

I've been working with leather, but now I think I need to start working with wool and learn how to use a sewing machine!

The nice thing about wool is its easier to hand sew than leather.

Thanks guys for the compliments.
