Leather Shot Snake

Finished up this leather shot snake for a customer. It's made from 3/4oz. veg tanned leather, hand stitched, waxed linen thread, dyed dark brown and treated with neat-foot oil and bee's wax. the strap is 3/4" wide with iron buckle.The spout is a simple brass head. We could not document the use of the English style shot heads being used in the 1750 so we used just a plain spout.
