Okay, so I've have an African springbuck pelt that my wife traded a handmade crochet blanket for at the Santa Fe Rendezvous in 1999. I've decided to try my hand at making 2 fur sporrans. One for daily wear and the other for more formal evening wear. I just bought 2 cantles from Stillwater, one antiqued brass [day] the other a blemmed chrome for more formal wear.

I looked at a lot of threads about DIY but still am not finding the details [photos] of other DIY sporrans that are using late metal cantles...any suggestions on how to refine my search paramenters? Thanks.

Next...bright and flashy [chrome] just really isn't me. I'm considering having the blemmed cantle replated or perhaps powdercoated...Opinions suggestions? I'm considering gloss black powdercoat, or maybe cad or rhodium plating...your ideas welcomed.
