Today we’re talking with Eric Ewing about his traditional leatherwork and how he got into the traditional craft, hunting and more. He's always been interested in history, in part thanks to his Mother and family love of classic movies. Eric Graduated from the Manhatten School of Fine Arts in 2002 and wasn't sure where to take his skills. he painted off and on for many years, but nothing really stuck. In 2013 he created his first bag, a copy of "The Virginia Bag" as featured by Wallace Gustler. As of 2020, he's made 200 bags.
It was great to hear about his work, but also everything he's trying to do to encourage young makers to improve their work and get out in front of people. He organizes critiques and helps introduce new artisans to older ones they might be intimidated to approach. Eric's work varies from piece to piece. One may be a lovely gentleman's pouch, and the next a rough cut homespun bag with a coonskin flap. Last year he was the subject of a Contemporary Maker Portrait on the Contemporary Makers Blog by Art and Jan Riser.
Follow Eric on instagram for updates on his work, hunting trips and more - https://www.instagram.com/forest_and_fowl/
We’d like to thank the CLA Show as well as Art and Jen Riser for their work to promote traditional craftspeople through the Contemporary Makers Blog. https://contemporarymakers.blogspot.com/

A special thanks this week to the guys at Primitive Pursuit for sponsoring the podcast! Primitive Pursuit was founded in 2017 to be an outlet for learning experiences as a traditional bowhunter. The truth is, someday’s it will throw you to the wolves. However, when the gap is closed and you’re finally able to take your shot, it’s all worth it. Everything comes together. Though we’re relatively new to the game, we feel it is our duty to help those that may go through similar successes and failures. We truly believe traditional bowhunter’s are among the best hunters in the world.
We couldn't have this conversation, the podcast or anything here at the NMLRA without the support of our members. Everything we do is made possible because of their generosity. Thank you.

In this video, we see as Mike walks two different students through adding detail to their wooden patch box lids.
All these techniques are very traditional, using traditional tools the way longrifle builders have for generations here in the United States.

For his donation to this year’s Gunmaker’s Hall Giveaway, Jeff wanted to create a hunting pouch that could have been indicative of a piece found in the early expansion west around the last quarter of the 18th century, with just enough asymmetry and “character” to make it believable.
Find Jeff's work at facebook.com/poboygear
Inspiration for the piece was derived from the bag on the cover of Madison Grant’s book, The Kentucky Rifle Hunting Pouch. While it was never intended to be a copy of that piece, the idea for the overall shape and style started there.
"The bag is constructed of 3oz veg tan cowhide, which I dyed using walnut hull dye I make. I intentionally used the leg portion of the hide as I received it for the pillow ticking lined front flap, leaving the imperfections found on it naturally. The interior of the bag has a single pocket, as well as three flintpockets attached to the back panel. The inner pocket, top fringe, and front flap are all bound in 2oz goathide. The bag is also welted, using the same goat hide. The adjustable woven cotton strap is the work ofTeresa Rawle, with a forged buckle and ring by John Rader. The strap ends are made of 5oz veg tancowhide, also dyed with walnut hull dye. Everything is hand-stitched in linen thread."
