My first Thorfinn

[csbdr]

This is a sporran I won in the last charity auction held on the Brotherhood of the Kilt forum, with an "upgrade." I had a bobcat hide in my fly tying stuff which I never really used for anything. I picked it up from a trapper in New Hampshire when I lived there. I sent it to Turpin and had him use it for this sporran ......




and here with the fur flap...








It's deep brown leather to match the fur. I am just floored!!! This is such a beautiful sporran. I had it made for wearing to my brother-in-law's wedding and think I may save it until then (OK, maybe not...) Sadly, my wife didn't care for it. You know, she's the type who has banned me from ordering veal in her presence, so her first thought was about the trapping part. It doesn't matter that this hide sat in our basement 15 yrs without seeing the light of day (actually she'd prolly prefer that!) and now it has been converted into something wonderful. AH, well. I love it!! Thanks Turpin!!
