Latest Sporran Weekend DIY

[Mike S]

Here is a daytime sporran I just whipped up from some left over materials I had on hand. It is a sort of amalgam of Rob Roy and Hunting styles.

The construction is from deerskin, calf hide, and hair-on kidskin.

Beautiful work.

Mike, for something that you "just whipped up," that is just awesome.

Thanks guys.

Here are a few photos of the back and inside, for those interested in the construction:

I like this especially the fur on the flap.

Nicely executed. You incorporated that fur wonderfully.

Very nicely done. Like the closure especially. Simple and elegant. (makes note to self)

Cheers. It is a small nautical "globe knot" (similar to a Monkey's Fist knot), created with leather lace around a wooden bead.

I tooled, pierced, and pinked a Celtic knot leather shield behind it to protect the goatskin hair from wear and tear from the braided leather loop.

Beautifully done Mike! I love all the detailing!

Beautifully 'whipped up', Mike.
