    My version of a single tassel sporran.

    After seeing one or our member's custom single tassel sporran I decided to make a similar one. It is a little different but quite similar. I have only finished the front plate and will be finishing it hopefully tomorrow.

    A beautiful piece of work.

    To change the subject slightly, what is the significance of tassels on a sporran?

    From my understanding they are just a decorative representation of the closure strings on the older sporrans and pouches.

    Nice job Harold! Do post pictures of the fully-made sporran. I can see the family resemblance.
