Hand Made Rob Roy Sporran!

Third Edition, you say? Hmmm... will the Second Edition have the same appendix?

Blazn,

I don't know if the Second Edition has the same appendix. Let us know when your book arrives.

That particular piece I bought locally, but I paid way too much per square foot. I have seen good prices on ebay for all kinds of leather, but I plan generally to order from this place.

They're in Salt Lake City and have a downloadable catalogue that includes all types of leathers. TR grade elk for 4.25/ sq. ft and #3 grade for 3.50 (whole hides, sides, and quarters). Buffalo, cow, deer, and more. Tools, knife-making, and black powder supplies.

I love soft-tanned elk.

Thanks Turpin... I checked them out. I can say that I now want to buy some moose leather from them.

No kidding!
I didn't know about them and l live here.
I'll have to go check them out. I hope I can buy small pieces. I've never made a sporran before, but I'd love to try.

It looks good, I think I gotta give it a try.

Your sporron looks great, well done

I started on my second last night, practicing with leather lacing to make a more rustic looking Rob Roy... sort of a baseball-looking stitch pattern.

I like the baseball stitch idea, cant wait to see what you come up with.
