Reworking a Hair Sporran

[MacBean]

your best bet would be to remove the cantle and tassels and simply have a new body made. Save the original as well for posterity and collector's value.

So do you make hair sporrans?

Was your recommendation in part based on a suggestion not to dissassemble an old sporran worth keeping, or perhaps that old leather is likely to be brittle?

I'd have thought that the front leather would come right off once the binding was removed. Perhaps I could replace it alone?
