    New Wyvern Leatherworks Sporran

    Finally got a couple pics of my new Wyvern sporran. Donnie custom dyed the flap and matched the soft leather to my semi-DIY belt in brick from Oconee Leatherworks. (One of the clearance buckle kits. I cut to length, punched the holes, beveled and slicked the edges and assembled it.)

    Donnie was great to work with. We went through several iterations of samples to get the right color match. It is a beautiful piece of art, the pictures do not do it justice, but:

    The sporran. Background is USA Kilts Semi-traditional in MacLeod of Harris.


    With the belt and hangers I made from some of the excess strap.


    Hope to get some pics of it in action at the Virginia Scottish Games this weekend.

    Nice!
    I really like the clasp/closure setup.
    It's just like those found on the Welsh sporrans over at Celtic Croft.

    Would it be possible to get photos of the interior of the sporran?
    How roomy is it?

    No pictures, batteries just died, but it is quite roomy. Large enough to fit 4 paperbacks when open. I can shut the flap over 2 paperbacks.
