How long are those teeth? Could you scrimshaw them?

Does wearing a beaver sporran carry any ... connotations?
It's amazing just how much of the US was settled due to the fur trade (specifically Beaver). I know much of the Great Lakes region was originally settled (and fortified) for these reasons.

And what does a beaver fur sporran say about you? Why, that you love a plush, rich, and above all else, water resistant pelt, of course!
