    Tom Hays Sporran

    Some of you may remember that my sporran was stolen from my baggage on my way back from Boston. Fortunately this gave me a chance to look for a new and better sporran and when I saw some of Tom's work I contacted him with a design and an offer of a Sgian Dubh as payment

    Here's a photo of the sporran he made for me and I really don't think that I could have got a nicer one.
    The wolf is a design that I recontructed from a broken Pictish stone sitting in Inverness museum.

    Nice design and I like the variations in the stain on the front.

    What Tom is offering is an amazing deal. That's a great looking carving.

    Man. I think this one just swayed me to add one of Tom's sporrans to my "must have" list. I LOVE that grained leather. What's that called (Tom?) The hardest part for me is going to be deciding what the heck I want carved on the lid.
