I got a nice piece of leather today so this evening I made a couple of pouches. One for coffee and sugar and the other as a tinder pouch. Coffee pouch. Tinder pouch. Heres what i put in the tinder pouch. A small bag of pine resin,a bag of birch bark & small pieces of fat wood and some UN-twisted jute twine. Both pouches.
There's no way you do tool bags or saddle bags for motorcycles is there? That's really handy. I like the workmanship; simple but it looks sturdy.
Nice work... just found a bunch of leather I forgot about while cleaning up today... think you've inspired me a bit Nice tinder selection... is there fatwood to be found there?.... I like oakum for tinder... works well... for an old fart like me... its kinda cheating though...
Anywhere there's old pines there should be fat wood about,yes you can find fat wood here if you keep your eyes peeled.
Leather DownUnder I just became a member today and this is my first post... I have made some pouches of Kangaroo leather since I live in Australia... I can highly recommend it for use as it gets beautifully soft with use, but remains exceptionally strong... Thanks for the pics... lovely work!
