    More sporran

    I'd like to make a leather cantle type hunting sporran. Does anyone know how the cantle is made and how it closes? I can't find anything on making this kind of sporran and I don't have a cantle type I can look over to find out.

    the ones I have seen remind me of those old cigarette case's lady's used to carry the hinge on the sides and closure at top.

    well I am by no means an expert but that is what they remind me of. Maybe I'm wrong (I don't own one)
