    Suede and brass sporran update



    Last year I posted my suede and brass cantle sporran as shown in blue background. At the time I got feedback that it could use some embellishment. So here's what I came up with.

    Wonderful sporran, with plenty of homage to historic designs. A real beauty.

    I did make the cantle. The only parts bought were the finials and tassel brass.
    Cheers,
    Scott

    Thanks all. MacRobert, I really like the 18th C style sporrans and I plan on making more of various styles. After wearing it this past year you can see it starting to patina.
