Leather Shot Flask



Leather shot flask that I made for a customer. It's another simple way to carry a little more shot in the field or woods. It stands about 6 1/2" from the tip of the spout to the bottom and is 3 3/4" wide at the bottom. The spout is made from brass and the stopper has a rubber O-ring to prevent it from coming out. The strap is made from braided hemp and leather and can be adjusted. Hand sewn and dyed a dark brown treated with bee's wax.
