There's an updated version of that book. A paperback version is reasonable. I just ordered one.
Excellent work for sure. I'll probably stick with quivers and sheathes for a while, but it's nice to dream! )P(

Thanks fellas.They do take a bit of time and thought to make.Your only limited by your own imagination I like to say.In the past going to many buckskin rendezvous's [some as large as 700 camps] we are all dressed up in skins and many ideas can come to mind for your own outfit.I've seen some astounding work done by fellow buckskinners.Quivers,gun cases,bags,shields and more are all at rendezvous.A large diversity of crafts.
To start a craft yourself for your own articles books are a good way to learn.That's what I did.
Bucskin rendezvous are a blast.Weapons everywhere.Smoke from camp fires.Traders making deals and meeting interesting people.Contests of shooting and hawk and knife throwing.Craftsmen doing their thing.A little like bow making gatherings but on steriods.
To me making articles from the animals you harvested is a gratifying closure to the hunt.
BowEd:
I got a pair of large hides I'll make another pair of pants from later this year.34" inseam on those pants.
I'll use the neck portions on these hides to make 4 way braided lace carrying straps for the possible bags I'll make later.
Future prospect for more items.
