    Hand Made Sporran

    My friend Chris Hurst from Wales (UK) just custom hand tooled a gorgeous new sporran for me and I thought I'd share photos in case any of you are in the market...


    (me in my urban camo Utilikilt original with Chris' sporran)


    (Front flap oak leaf detail)


    (sporran knotwork detail)

    Chris is working on getting a leather working website up and online to be able to take orders. When it is ready, I'll be sure to post.

    I'm not commissioned at all, I'm just a happy (first) customer and encouraging her to offer such nice work to other kilted folks.

    Wow! That is some really nice and original work.

    I have never seen a sporran like that.

    Congratulations!

    That is a wonderful looking sporran, I'm sure you'll treasure it.

    Wow,

    Even in the low res format of an online posting, the relief work in the leather looks stunning.

    That reminds me of a Black Forrest Cuckoo Clock. I like it.
    Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders I yet have heard, it seems to me most strange that men should fear; seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come. --William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar
