    Highland Cattle Sporran

    I finally was able to get my hands on a piece of highlander hide and make myself a sporran. Unfortunately I do not have anymore hide or access to more. I was lucky to get this from a friend who had pieced out a hide he had and sold all but this piece.

    I sure will Thomas. If I can get my hands on more hide I am going to try and make a few but sadly the hides are quite expensive.

    here on ebay.de I found actually 3 hides. Size 210cmX210cm for appr. 550€
    There are other suppliers with the same prize for that size. It's roughly double the prize of "normal" cow hide.

    Very striking Harold!

    You know, if I position the photo in just the right spot on my monitor, it almost, almost reminds me of one of the guys in ZZ Top.....
