Two makeovers of makeover sporrans!

[OC Richard]

I had a c1950 EW5 cantle on a Coyote body, and a c1930 Celtic birds knotwork cantle on a seal body.

But the Celtic birds cantle always looked too big on the normal-sized seal body, and looked much better on the slightly oversized Coyote body.

So I swapped the Celtic bird knotwork cantle on to the lovely Coyote body which it looks great on, and put the EW5 cantle on a more rustic-looking Coyote body.

I decided to use the same russet leather for both. I have a lot of that stuff and besides it looks just right to my eye. It's been "weathered" as I always do.

I really like the results.



The liner on the EW5 cantle that I made might look a bit wide, but that's intentional, a small tip of the cap to the old Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders sporrans which had wide liners.
