Barring Google do you have any raw leather suppliers in your area. Depending on the season they often carry exotic pelts like for instance Skunk. Here in southern MO, I shop at Springfield leather company and they often carry rabbit pelts, alligator, there is even stingray-again depending on the season (I am considering making my next sporran out of stingray, it would be one of a kind I have a feeling). I dont know if this was any help but if you want any advice on stitching or anything like that, I am experienced in leather work-no where near the level of Freelander or Turpin-but I am am happy to share my knowledge as well. Good luck.

Actually, I was planning to super-glue the pelt to a 20 buck all leather sporran I have.

Yeah, I'm not very ambitious.
