A lot of reenactment level work is about learning appropriate historical crafts and skills. This board is for all general skills that don't have their own forum.
I've been working on this for a week or two now
its to act as a possibles pouch when out and about in the woods and fits with the Emberverse Rangers I prefer
Front of pouch (spark stick/ ferro rod for scale)
Rear of pouch
Hanging on my belt
Since taking the last image I have shortened the length of the thonging to a more practical length and treated the veg tan with bear cream which has darkened it a little
hope you like it
(and that I have posted this in the correct forum section)

i didn't want to commit to length until i had loaded it up and generally had a mess around with it
its quite a cavernous pouch because it is soft leather it allows more in it than the wet formed leather pouches i am used to.
i think it will be a regular user
Great pouch, really nice work. Thanks to this forum I just started "Dies the Fire" I'm really looking forward to it. Do you wear the pouch off to the side as it is in the picture, or on the front like a sporron?
The use of the hard and soft leather is going to make it very strong and really makes it stand out when you look at it as a quality peice!
I predict a bit of plagerising is in order!
Don't worry we steal from each other all the time, Imatation being the highest for of flatery!

Barrelmaker-as per photo i wear it on my hip. (i managed to do myself a mischief with a different pouch wearing it at the front) it is part of my belt kit incorporating knife, hatchet and such like.
The Emberverse series is possibly my favourite series, i reckon i have read it a good half dozen times book one to the last one since i bought dies the fire last september, drives my other half mad
Ringulf-feel free to mimic it, i liberated the idea from a bushcraft forum i frequent so its not like its my idea
You get that from Ozhaggishead's pouch tutorial on the BushcraftUSA forum? That's the one I use. I love that style pouch, I use it all the time. I like what you did with yours, the stitching around the edge of the flap gives it a nice finished look.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
OK my attempt at this design came in a tad smaller but were designed as thankyou gifts for my marshals.
The Greenman or Wood Dwarf as he is being called is now becoming part of the creative theme for my Rangers down here in Trimaris. as you can see in the Ranger Moot thread for Vaca del Mar.

really like the green man in that.
back to the drawing board for me i reckon
En contrere my brother I may have done some embelishment as far as decoration goes but your construction and sewing is a standard I am only trying to aspire to. I truly admire how clean and well made your pouch is.
Quite often I have to go a bit farther on the artsy fartsy side, just to make up for the lack of what you have a firm grasp on!
