Cat Bag

[Capt. Jas.]

After several months of dealing with some health issues, I am finally able to get back in the groove. This combo is heading to a customer in Texas who wanted a bag, horn and knife set-up represented in a painting of Stephen F. Austin, the "Father of Texas". The customer researched the original painting and found it to be made from a woodcut done in 1824. Note the antler handled knife sheathed on the bag strap. In lieu of a jaguar, the customer sent me one of his bobcat hides to construct this double bag. The horn was made by Billy Griner and the knife was made by Chad Matthews. Since the customer wears his bag on the left, I reversed the painting : )

That is very cool. I love bags with the fur on them, and that one is really just awesome.

Great looking and rare as well as HC.
I have to say when I saw the name of your thread on the menu my first thought was hard core military reinactor. I though of the baize bag for a cat o nine tails. Not something we normally cover in a living history event.

Love it. I can't say I wasn't hoping to see a Tabby face on the flap but that'll work. Love those green BG horns. Super.

Wow, really fine work on that bag! The whole kit is excellent as well. A neat HC set for a proud son of the Republic of Texas!

 

[Capt. Jas.]

Thank you gentlemen!. The set came out very well in my opinion. Kept the aire of the painting but allowed individuality of the makers.

Outstanding workmanship and documentation!

...and, if you ever want to make one with orange fur, I know just the cat...
