    #5-Irish Harp Sporran




    Just finished sporran #5. The front flap has an image of an Irish Harp.

    I apologize for the quality of the photos, but it's late and I'm tired.

    I plan on wearing it Sunday to church with my SWK Saffron Kilt, Lovat Green Jacket, and Saffron flashes (came today) and Saffron tie. I also have a green Heritage of Ireland to wear with the Harp sporran.

    The photos don't do justice to the Antique Mahagony stain. The color is rich, and the stain brings out the small imperfections in the leather.

    So far I've made a Welsh Dragon (#1), Mason's symbol for a friend (#2), Rampant Lion, given to my son (#3), Rampant Lion for myself (#4), and Irish Harp (#5).

    Cheers,

    Tom

    That is some fine leatherwork.
    I could never do that.

    Each new sporran seems just a little bit better finished than the one that came before. I like this one best. Excellent work!

    Cheers

    I hope you don't mind, but I cleaned up the bottom photo in photoshop so others could see the detail.

    I seriously need to invest in more leather working tools. All my sporrans look plain compared to this, as I have no stamping tools.

    I will drop this little pearl: I have a rabbit fur sporran (not a full mask) in the works. I'm taking pics along the whole process. When I finish it... I'll start a thread that will highlight the whole process.

    Very nice work... I need to do an Irish Harp sporran for myself to go with my SWK Irish National!
