reindeer leather pouch for honey stove

[Dreadhead]

following this thread: http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=90352

knocked up a little test pouch for my honey stove. some of the leather was covered in crap no idea if this is natural or from being in storage for a long time. so i figured i would use it for something thats going to get dirty anyway. i love it anyway as it is so gnarly and blotchy. the button is red stag antler and i used waxed linen thread.

realy like the rough and ready style of that - could do with some leather like that for a hunting pouch i want to knock up

 

[Dreadhead]

im being truly greedy with this bunch basically using it to create alot of kit for norway trip like stuff sacks and pouches and hopefully havbe a skin leftover to keep in pack for spares and repairs

there is also the small matter of £30 it costs to change your title harharhar. any idiot (or full member) can stitch a few peices of leather together. when i start making things to sell ill consider upgrading my ego to maker

The thirty quid is what's stopping me at the moment. I'll only just recoup materials never mind time given I personally haven't the Time to produce a large volume of items.

It'd be better for me to pay a quid whenever I sold something.

 

[Dreadhead]

yeah thats not a bad idea. i just dont produce enough for selling it on. i make things for myself and friends to practice my leatherwork rather than looking to make any money out of it. i have my gallery on deviantart (in signature) which is good enough for me

really looks the biz, very rustic i like that a lot. well done

 

[Dreadhead]
