    There is a construction mistake on the little Tennessee bag too...the little flap piece goes on the outside of the pouch along the top seam, not sandwiched between the flap and back panel as shown...I apologize for the mistakes. sincerely, tc

    Questions on Two Old Leather Tools

    Although its considered traditional taboo to use shears on leather, I find them very handy. Fiskars softtouch are my choice...the kind with the big knuckle bow on bottom....I use an old "Stanley" carpenters style sliding beam marking gauge to mark the width of the strip, then cut it by "pushing"...

    Daniel Boone's (Fess Parker) Rifle??

    Wheres the best place to get leather?

    Kary..what Bill said...but about "buffed" leather, maybe its been actually buffed down to even and correct the flesh side. Other than that I have no idea what it means...to me,buffing leather means to shine and polish an applied wax coating...while buff leather refers to its color...and "buff"...

    18th Century Fur Trade Belt Axe

    Axes of similar pattern ought to be found in the archaeological reports etc from various 18th century fur trade sites...it should be easy to find and note the dig site where similar patterns were found if they are there? I dont think its a pattern common to sites around the mid west or great...
