I wasn't sure where to post this, hope it's in the right section.
There are a lot of awesome craftsmen[and women] on this forum, I only make "utilitarian" kinds of gear from leather. I'm by no means the artisan as I've seen here but I made a few things for my .50 Hawken, which I use hunting in Eastern PA....
Leather Possibles pouch made from 2 oz goat skin:
Whitetail antler powder measure 60 gr FFFg:
Ball bag [holds 15 round ball and 10 Miniballs:
Frizzen cover:
Forend wrapping:
Stock wrap with raised cheek pad:
This is from a template for a leather "flask" - normally used for cold/alcoholic beverages like Rum. I'm using it for #6 shot for turning my rifle into a shotgun. It's a WIP at the moment, the pencil is holding open the spout until I wet it and pack it with ball bearings to stretch the bottle.
If you wanted to use this for liquids, you need to make/stretch the leather and then line it with Brewer's Pitch. You can find that here:
