Bear in Katy,TX made this submission regarding his "New Ball Bag" project.

 

 I wish to submit my new ball bag.

I first made a bag from deer skin leather to fit inside the turtle shell. Then I added a thong with a tip from a deer antler, for the closer. Next I gave the shell a clear finish and drilled tiny holes at each end of the shell to stitch in the bag for support and to hold the bag in place, and to stitch in the fringe.
