No, there is definitely the one word. And you said it.

Wow!

Wow!

Thanks chaps!

Usually I'm elated when I post a sporran out to it's new owner. This was one of those pieces I was actually VERY sad to see leave the workshop. The cantle is so time-worn that the metal is greasy-smooth from years of handling. All the edges are butter soft with wear.

It was a beautifully balanced little work that I'd dearly love to know more of the history about.

Amazing!
I'm not at all surprised, of course, but still very much impressed.

Just stunning!

Absolutely gorgeous work.

Now I'm starting to Jones....

Cheers,

A great transformation, I wasnt sure how it was going to look but I think everyone has already summed it up

The close up of the tassels is great too, I need to make some the same for my newly acquire sporran.

The new owner is going to be happy

That is gorgeous.

I appreciate you showing us the details of the historic cantle.
Your new work does it justice.

Mmm... So easy to picture that thing hanging in front of my kilt... If you'll excuse me, I need to go read about sand casting.
