I would tend to agree. I know fur can be difficult to wrangle on the relatively sharp curves of a sporran. Part of the issue appears to be the lack of shaping the fur with a shears. The long guard hairs really look too bushy on the bag pictured.

Which brings us to the other issue. Inter-webz photography. Seriously folks, if you're too lazy to take a good pic (or have one taken), what does that say about the rest of your work?
