I am getting married in August and I am lacking a more formal sporran. The one I have is a semi dress brown rabbit front. I think something in black would look better with the Macgregor kilt I will be wearing.

I have aquired a full skunk pelt. I am seriously considering making a sporan out of this pelt. It has character and would mean a lot to the person that gave me the pelt.

I have a general idea for the pattern and access to leather at a local shop for the gusset sides and back panel.

Does anyone have any advice on working with fur pelts for sporran making? I have searched here and google. I see a lot on bare leather but little on fur. I think that building it inside out would help hide the stitches on the fur side.

The mask was not removed carefully enough to use for a "full mask". The tail is in great shape.

I do not have a cantel and I am not sure if I even want one on it. That leads me to building a flap out of part of the pelt.

I have an idea of putting the fur on the flap and making the flap the main part of the sporran. Under the flap would be plain leather. You would only see that area if the flap was open.

I will try to post a photo of the pelt so you can see what I have to work with.
