New fur - new sporran

[MizzouScotsman]

I received in the post a brand new pelt - a lovely Muskrat. I am not doing a full mask on this one but I am using that great colored fur as the front a soon to be put together semi-formal sporran.

Here is the pelt.

That is a nice pelt, care to share your source. I just picked up a very nice nutria pelt from Promised land Ranch and am making a sporran out of it. I also just scored a very clean raccoon pelt from shopgoodwill dot com for a very low price. I do like different pelts from the standard rabbit fur and badger and one day hope to afford some buffalo and Nepal yak fur. Please keep us up to date with photos of your creation... Congrats on the nice pelt.

I procured the pelt on ebay from a seller by the name of montanarenegade. He or she has a nice selection of pelts at what I consider reasonable price. Shipping was fast and cheap. I'm sort of new to making sporrans and have not found a Missouri pelt source yet. I am looking at a badger or raccoon next.

My preferred fur dealer is Eidnes Furs out of Idaho. They're great to deal with, have a nice selection and I think are pretty reasonable.

Nice colouring on the pelt. I am looking forward to further updates.
