Ok, I have 12 deer hides going in for tanning soon and wanted to get some idea's from everyone as to what I should make or have made, I have a buckskin top already and may be getting a vest as well as making a billfold/wallet for game seals/tags outdoors card etc. I will also be doing a hide with hair on.
What would you make out of the tanned hides?
Thanks!
Hat and mitts be sharp.
moccasins.....

A ton of throw over the couch blankets
Make me whatever you want!
Oh yes I have moccasins but could use another pair.
A nice pair of snug gun gloves would be nice Turkey Rookie, I have a good wood burning set I can also do some nice hunting related scenes
Looks like I have some research to do!
i've got 6 hides with the hair on and i've always wanted to make a gun case. I think it would really cool. Just need some time to get it done!
Oh just had an idea! a soft gun case/sock, do it up all rustic looking...

Looks like you beat me to it :thumbup:
How about some a.s.s-less chaps....:shy:
Make a murse! And if you get called out on it, say it's a 'possibles bag'.
How about full pants. Or a Voyageur coat. Or both - like a whole suit. Get some beading done on the lapels.
My grandma made me a buckskin gun case for my dirty-thirty one year for xmas :) One of my most prized possessions.Quote:

do you have any photo's to share of the gun case, these things sure do have special meaning and are something to be handed down

looks great Pete, what type of interior liner do yours have?
It's like a faux sheepskin.Quote:

Just don,t wear this stuff for hunting unless its dyed orange. Was gunna yrs ago for muzzeloading but after a hole in the shoulder I,m telling you don,t. Nice for the Harley tho.
By the way I,m not just starting out. Been on here since it started yrs ago. I only get involved in things that I,m interested in.
Make yourself an Indian teepee. It's a great rig for winter hunting. If you don't have a camp of course.
