I hae always wondered how leather cantles are put together on hunting sporrans. Any clues from some of our DIYers?
On standard 'hard' hunting sporrans the 'arc' of leather is just an applied decoration laid over the targe (also a decoration), the stiff leather underneath provides the actual structure.
On these soft bodies the construction is a bit of a proprietary secret.
Oh! Scott, I was not asking for any protrietary secrets to be divulged. I should bookend that by saying that I don't mean your specific style of sporran.
I am considering making a generic hunting sporran for myself and want it to open with a cantle style...but I want it to be completely leather. I'm open to hard or soft bodies, makes no difference to me. I am at a standstill with where to start though.
Thank you for your help.

This is exactly the trio (belt, strap, and sporran) that I hope will be decorating my body in late June/July. My children are already arguing over who will get them in the will. I also hope that the rest of the rabble will be reeking away in odious envy. Ha!
Scotland is only 1/5 the size of Montana, but Scotland has over 3,000 castles and Montana has none.
