    Inspirational! It is all wonderful, but the lacing happened to catch my eye--it is very well done, and adds detail and dimension. Very, very nice!

    Artificer, I have never really liked skunk fur sporrans. The white stripe is usually all over the place and the finish of the pelt just never seem quite right.

    Your offering has completely changed my mind, you have obviously taken great care to select a pelt that is, to my eyes, near perfect and the combination of the beaten leather cantle and the pelt is outstanding. Being the proud owner of your No 8, I can say that your stiching is as imaculate as ever and the braiding looks to be of the same high standard.

    Congratulations to you on such a fine creation and congratulations to the commissioner for his superb aquisition
