Hello All,
I've dropped our old site, and many of the images along with it. Here's a retrospective of 24 months of sporran crafting. There are about 6 missing that I've passed on to other folks. If I see 'em, I'll snap a picture.
#1- My Bison hide shooting sporran. It's kitchen sink big, with zippered pockets inside, and a clip for my keys.
#2. Deerskin day sporran. A bit smaller.
#3. A mixed hide sporran. Smoke tanned Bison for the flap, and moo cow for the body. Holes punched for clan badge.
#4. Smoke tanned bison with holes punched for clan badge. This one shares the thimble/cones and cords with #6
#5. Made to match my new brogues. Cow hide
#6. Cow and elk day sporran with brass thimbles for cones.
#7. Elk and Bison hunting sporran with fox paw relief
#8. Brass cantle hunting sporran with deerskin pouch. The cantle was nickle plated, with heavy relief. It came from Pakistan on my first $50 sporran. I took it to task on the belt sander. The cantle is actually threaded on. I cut a deer antler crown for the badge, but I'm still in search of an appropriate figure to mount in it. (cotter pins and brass beads, with a 3/4" brass ring for the belt- if you're going to ask...)
More in the next post.....
