I was wondering if anyone knows a way that I could get ahold of a template that I could use for cutting the bearskin into a proper shape for a good sporran. If worse comes to worse I would dismantle a professionally made sporran to use as a guide, but I would prefer not to have to dismantle a perfectly good sporran.
I would really like to see the bear paw sporran when you make it. I wouldn't mind having a sporran like that myself!
