You are a true artist! If I had the same talent as the first knuckle of your pinkie I would be a happy man!

The look must only be surpassed by the feel! Very pleasing to the eye, my friend. Thanks for posting these pictures.

Here's a new one I just finished that's being packed for posting right now to a fellow X-Marker.

Red Fox Dress Sporran; with red suede interior and black kidskin gussets and trim. Cantle supplied by the commissioner.

Extra wide gusset as per commissioner's request

Overall dimensions are:
9.5" tall to top of knob on cantle
7.75" wide across the body (not including fur)
1.33" deep when closed (not including fur)
and the bag opens to just over 4" wide.

Another class-A winner, Scott!

That fur, the grain (if i can call it that) the colour and the evenness of the hair is fantastic. Another winner Scott. It is one of the few such sporrans that I like the shape of too. They usually look like a fluffy ball with a cantle stuck on. Cheers mate

Another gorgeous work of art.

A very fine looking sporran, Scott, and I am sure David will wear it to your credit.
Regards,
Mike

I have a fox sporran a bit like that...only it has three silver fox tassles which really set it off. All the fox fur is wonderfully soft. I love it.

Exquisite work. Congratulations.

Oh! So Rex commissioned the beaver sporran! It really is very fine indeed. Congratulations Rex.

That fox sporran is magnificent!

Fantastic work, as always, Scott! As some other folks have mentioned, you do a really nice job of shaping the actual bag, such that it's footprint on the kilt has some visual interest. One could pay huge ammounts for a mass produced sporran that is, in terms of configuration, quite simmilar to the one you've just made; however, said mass-produced sporran will invariably suffer from the "fluffy ball with a cantle stuck on" affliction. Awesome, awesome job, sir.
