That bag is from October Country. Elk. The inside is just 1 big pocket. Nothing special, not lined. My cap tin, loose balls, short starter and patches.
I am actually thinking about a little darker, richer finish on the wood. Just not sure yet.

Here is my only Buffalo horn.
That came out looking really nice... Question, is the antler on the butt end used to cover the staple attachment? If it is that is a great move and a nice finishing touch...
My strap just has 2 little holes in it and I ran a latigo lace through it and knotted the ends. The lace runs through the staple. The little antler is there just cuz I like it and thought it finished it off a little. 
I took a little walk tonight and packed the horn along and it fits great! I set the staple at the perfect angle so the horn hugs my hip. Really happy with it.
Big shout out to member "rusty" for his generosity in giving me a big 'ol buffalo horn to mess around with....

your next one may be more sophisticated/Gucci, but this one will always be your favorite!

Stonewall Creek, $26 a dozen. Black or French.
Cool site. Might just order a bag of 50 and be done for awhile....wife always said I was dumber than a bag of rocks.
get French if you can,but black are good to
October Country sells the french ones too....a Big Mac and a large french flints to go please....
That was my choice until I decided to save a bit more and get a Kashtuk fowler, something about the smoothbore just appealed to me... That being said it's on my list as the next one to buy...
Why French? I've never used them.
that will be a looker
An easy to hold and rotate the horn while you work on it , is to pit a dowel rod in the drilled end , put the dowel in a vise , and file away. Have done many like that , works well , and easy....oldwood
