    Working on a new Hunter Sporran

    Just a project I've been working on between ice storms and shifts in the Prison...

    Templates I made:




    What I have so far:









    The face of the sporran is still wet from stamping, which is why it looks 'dark' and 'streaked.' When it's completely dry, that will be gone.

    All materials are from Tandy Leather except for the Tartan, which are remnants from when Barb made my Kilt. It sits under the Boss and is centered under the Triquetra.

    The sporran face and back are 12-14oz cow hide, the gusset is 4oz goat. The colors are 'British Tan" and common black.

    The face color of the Sporran is going to match the Triquetra [British Tan], the Cantle is going to be black and carved to match the design [imprint] face of the Sporran.

    I still have some smoothing to do on the Triquetra edges [where it's cut out] and I didn't get a pic of the gusset...but the gusset is a wide one, at 3" wide and is black.

    I see, so the tartan is going to act as a highlight. I wish I could make my own!

    Yes. I have leftovers from when Barb T made my Kilt and used that. On the back side of the Tartan [what you don't see], I used a liquid "thread locker" to hold the threads and keep it from fraying. Once I have it to where I can finally glue down the Boss, I will also glue down the Tartan and it won't move at all, much less fray.

    I'll try to get better pics up later on.

    Got 2 new pics. The pieces are just "set together" to show what it basically looks like. Still have lots to do before it's finished:
