My first exposure to leatherworking was at Boy Scout camp where I got to tool some leather and lace together one of those pre-made mocassin kits. And then there was Native mocassins and leggings. Now that I know something of the differences between braintain, veg-tan, and chrome-tan I'm starting to buy and plan for bigger and better things.

I found a need to cary archery supplies with me so I knocked out a quick eastern Vikingish belt pouch. The pouch is chrome-tan leftover from before I knew better. The "fittings" are tooled veg-tan. All is stitched with waxed linen.

I decided to get rid of a bunch of buckskin and sheep skin I had laying around. So, I made a horde of drawstring pouches of various sizes sewn with waxed linen thread.

This pouch was originally meant to conveniently hold medicine and car keys on my belt at events. But, its current role is to hold my money.
