I like that too! I have a question though... and I feel foolish for asking, but how do the gamekeepers work? What is the process of using them? I’d imagine it is used to hold squirrel and rabbit...

You have to make a strap to pull the leather band trough the ring, strap the leg from Squirrel or rabbit trough it

Excellent work! I assume that is veg tan leather? If so how did you treat it to get that more bark tan look?

 

[hawkeye hugo]

Hello Barry, it's indeed 2-3 oz vegtan leather for the bag, I stained very good with fiebings golden brown and afterwards I treated it with 100 % neatsfoot oil to get to that old look
