Built of the same hide, same time. The finished bag was distressed abit, wetted down, and stained. Think staining the bag after it is punched out and allowed to dry abit... Kinda just mottles the finish enough, to give a aged look. After, a amber dyed wax was applied.
I just picked up a Fusil Fin that my good friend Terry Briggs built for me. He hasn't built a new gun in many years. Incredible builder, his guns never come up for sale.
I think it was three or four years of whining on my part that finally made him throw in the towel.
Anyrate, I've spent 12 hours making up a new bag for it, and it is only half done. Plan on finishing it this weekend. Will post pics when done.
