Lot 27: Hunting Bag, Powder Horn and Knife Set by: Lawrence Fiorillo, Tyler Mazer, and Eric Borneman

The hunting bag measures about 7” square, with the front panel and flap made from a hair-on cowhide. The hair is unusually long and brindled in color. The flap and opening edges are neatly bound with pigskin. The pocket edge is folded over and stitched for a smooth look and feel. Tyler’s stylish blade was made using 1084 high-carbon steel that has been aged. The tang is nicely fitted with a turned handle of English Boxwood and a steel ferrel. Eric Borneman’s powder horn is an early style with a lobed base and a carved spout. The maple base plug was turned on a spring pole lathe. The plug sports a carved German flower with engraving around the base. The lobes match the top of the bag flap, and the crosshatch engraving complements the handle of the knife. All parts were done in 18th-century tooling and style. The beautiful woven powder horn strap was made by Gail Mumma.
