I don't know how I missed this thread before. That's a great-looking sporran.

I need to get that book now. I have been looking for a pattern for that type of sporran! All I could find was the pattern that has been shown on XMTS on numerous occasions, but it's not the same style. Of course, I may make one while waiting to get the book, but now that I've seen one of those made, I know to get the book and try it out! Well done, man, and thanks for the pics. Looks good!!!

Nice job you've made of the sporan. I never cease to be amazed at the talent some of you folks have.
This thread reminded me of Rob Roy's sporan kept in the National Museum here in Edinburgh. It wasn't actually his but Sir Walter Scott was impressed with it and wrote it into his novel about Rob Roy - “I advise no man to attempt opening the sporran till he has my secret, said Rob Roy… This, said he, touching the pistol – This is the keeper of my privy purse.” – from Rob Roy by Sir Walter Scott, 1818.


This is just the cantle, of course, but how about that for a sporan project.

Thank you fo sharing Joe.
Brilliant work !
I'll get some leather from my bagpipe maker. He uses youg cow hide. Should be perfect.
I definitely need a soft leather sporran . Something comfotable to wear with lots of space for my plunders
