Lot 14: Bag, Horn, and Knife set by Dwight Gallian, Kai Fennewald, Steve Fields, and Kevin Carter

A team of artists, who participated in the CLF New and Aspiring Artists Program in 2023, joined forces to create a fine set for this year’s Fundraising Auction as a thank you to the Foundation. 

Dwight Gallian created a one-of-a-kind variation of the classic D-shaped hunting bag. The piece is made from deeply colored Tundra Sheep leather, a rare variety usually reserved for high end leather goods. This richly textured bag is fully lined and closes with an antique buckle. 

Steve Fields crafted a fine example of a Southern Banded horn. It’s a striking three banded horn with a turned antler spout and a wild cherry base plug. Fields added a handy fill plug in the base. It’s a handy, lightweight horn, given a beautiful color tone with a special stain that’s the artist’s “secret sauce.”

Kai Fennewald forged a rugged frontier knife that’s ready for work. The blade is made from 1084 high carbon steel and fitted to a Missouri white oak handle. Kai also crafted the sheath from bark tanned deerskin, hand sewn with linen thread.

This set comes complete with a handy horn box by Kevin Carter. The piece is perfect for the sportsman who appreciates fine quality accoutrements. This gracefully turned container comes with a tightly fitting lid which is adorned with a silver inlay of the unmistakable profile of a hunting dog at point.
