This is an interesting topic. I would love to see more how-tos on this sort of stuff. I have some basic leather working skills and do a lot of DIY type of stuff (actually do some museum repro work dealing with other areas). Additionally, as a outdoorsy person, I have a lot of fur, hide, and access to the both. I would love to make myself another sporran or two and was just looking through some muskrat and beaver hides last night.
