For sale - Skunk fur hunting sporran

[LKM]

SOLD

A hand made leather sporran with real skunk fur in the US only. Some countries have laws about importing furs and I do not want that to be an issue on delivering the sporran. I made two sporrans from a skunk pelt. I'm keeping one and decided to sell the other.

Pictures of making the sporran can be seen here:

The black leather is a black garment skin that I picked up that has the look, feel, and size of a goat hide.

The sporran is between 7.75 inches and 8 inches long and about 6.5 inches wide, not counting the fur.

The fur origin is the USA. I backed the skunk pelt with part of an upholstery cow hide, as skunk leather is thin and I want what I make to last. The fur is a little thinner on some of the edges, yet most of those areas are under tassels and these areas can be seen in the pictures.

The cantle design that I used is based on the old functional cantles, yet it is made with leather and closes with a buckle on the back. I put a pocket on the back of several of my sporrans, including this one, and have found it useful to me. I did sew my initials on the back of the sporran. The tassels are hand-braided leather with a bead on the end of each braid. The beads are held on by friction, not glued or sewn on.
