    My New Wyvern Sporran

    Have just had an email from Donnie that my new bespoke sporran is due to be shipped tomorrow. Donnie was a dream to work with and has done a fantastic job with my vague description of what I was looking for. I came across a Celtic grizzly bear drawing which was rather apt for my pseudonym on here, and also asked Donnie to match my Celtic tan belt from Centaur designs. It is also slightly larger than normal in proportion with my GoS stature. I can't wait to receive it.
    Thanks again Donnie I will wear it with pride.

    You're a lucky man! Great piece of work Donnie. My son has one of your masterpieces and it looks great.

    That's a beauty Grizzly!
    Donnie has made four sporrans for me, save for two metal cantle dress sporrans, they are all I wear. Great work at a fair price, a no brainer for me.

    Great looking sporran. I love the one Donny made for me last year. I'm saving for my next one.

    Thank you all for the positive comments. It has now actually reached these shores via our friendly customs people who held it up for a few days, they had a good look at it, admired the craftsmanship and the quality and then decided I hadn't paid nearly enough for it so stuck me with a bill for £50 / $70. Which was nice of them.....not!

    Still you have to pay for quality and I am so glad I chose Donnie for this project. Brooke I can totally understand why you have 4 wyvern sporrans.

    It will get its first proper outing at Harpenden Highland games. So expect some pics of it being worn there.
