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.
