Fur for sporrans

Thanks for the link. I think this is a good idea- links to good resources.

I'm looking at THESE right now. This vendor seems pretty reasonably priced and forthright about any defects the hides may have. I will say that I haven't used them yet, so cannot vouch personally for them, but I will be ordering soon (either the red fox in the link or a great huge raccoon).

Perhaps a Sticky with links to DIY materials/how-tos/etc?

I bought a fox pelt from a very similar vendor on eBay several months ago. It is fantastic. It only has one little spot where there in no fur on the underside. Problem is, my cat has adopted it and thinks it is her baby...

She sleeps with it, cleans it, rolls all over it, etc.... If I can ever get it away from her, I am sure it would make a very nice sporran.
