    Sourcing hides

    I was wondering: any great ideas on sourcing different hides for sporran-making? Anything from beaver and fox to angora and alpaca...I'm curious where you all find your hides.

    Ideas?

    I've had good luck on Ebay and a place in Montant called Glacier Wear dot com for furs.
