Lot 17: Double Pouch Bag Set by Frank Willis, Nathan Allen, and Jim Pease

The trio of Frank Willis, Nathan Allen, and Jim Pease created an outstanding blackpowder rig for this year’s CLF Fundraising Auction. Willis created the bag for this set from 4 and 5 ounce vegetable tanned leather, sewn with waxed linen thread. It’s a close copy of an original bag, and finished off with Fiebing’s walnut pro stain. 

Nathan Allen forged an attractive knife for this set, featuring a hand carved handle with a patterned pewter bolster; it’s accompanied with a heavy custom sheath. Jim Pease contributed an exquisite example of a three-banded horn, carrying a row of brass tacks around the base, and finished to perfection.
