Ok, I have made my first sporran and it was out of a opossum pelt. I know that most fur sporrans or full masks are made out of badger, fox, or even skunk. Never seen one from opossum so decided on it. Now I am looking at a muskrat fur that looks nice. Will not be using it for a full mask but a semi formal kind of sporran.

So I guess the question is...Does it matter what kind of fur? I know this seems simple but some furs do better than others or look better, etc. So if it was your sporran, would you be particular to the fur or just go with what you like?

Thanks
