Got my new Artificer sporran coming

**Drac** · 5th July 11, 04:56 PM

Hi all,

Did a trade of a knife for a hide. A hunter friend bagged a nice axis. After tanning I forwarded it to Artificer for a nice sporran.

This is the result -

Heading out in the mail soon and I'm really looking forward to getting it

Artificer's talent continues to amaze me. Now he does leather tooling too?

And I really like the look of the fur. The markings on it very distinctive and I'm glad it doesn't have tassels to cover them up.

Congratulations Drac on the the new "amazing looking" sporran. That skin with the darker leather tooled flap looks fantastic.

Pretty darned impressive!

Another work of art from the Artificer! Is there anything Scott can't do?

**sevenoaks** · 5th July 11, 07:56 PM

Very impressive. Lucky you. I love it!

Drac, I saw this posted on Facebook tonight and fell in love. I'm very jealous!!

Amazing sporran. Lovely doesn't cut it.

very nice !!

Now you have to make for "yourself" a sgian to match this level of craftmenship. This fine sporran desrves a high quality Drac made sgian to hang out with. That cheap dime store thing you carry needs an upgrade.

Thanks all. I am REALLY looking forward to getting it.

Artificer's work is always great.

Something about craftsmen, we never seem to have enough time to make one for ourselves

I do have some damascus and an idea for a modern style dagger one with some mother of pearl or mammoth tooth. It was one I saw done by another maker. He was generous enough to let me duplicate it. It involves a new skill for me so we will have to see how it turns out.
