I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

Currently three:
one is black leather, with a Celtic medallion in pewter I wear it most often.
one semi-dress brown cowskin (with fur on)
one dress all wild rabbit fur, (think bunny Frou-Frou with a silver cantle)
Jonesing, a brown Rob-Roy to go with a new kilt in my hunting tartan. I'll probably make it and a matching belt, with the current stock market and my retirement being at least partially tied to it, the kilt may be a long time coming.

Of course, you HAVE to coordinate all of this with matching belts and sporran straps from the incomparable Cavscout. ChattanCat's wife is the fashion fascist, and she should know.
Thanks Mrs C.
I agree about the coin holders. One for each sporran (unless you're Southern Breeze or Wompet!!)

Oh, I don't know, Turpin - only my top three get regular use these days.

There are a lot of super designs out there that I would like to try, but I decline to use images that are copyrighted for items for sale. I do make up some things on scrap leather just to see how they turn out.
I hope this thread continues. There is a lot of nice work out there.

Don't sell yourself short, Tom. Your tooling work is very masterful and looks like it's getting more intricate and accomplished every time I see a new one. Me, I just cut, glue, punch, and sew. I'm afeard of the tooling stuff.

1 black cordura zipped casual sporran
1 Soft black leather Sporran
1 Black leather day sporran with a celtic dragon carved in the flap
1 semi dress, Black Leather with Kangaroo fur face panel, black leather tassels
1 White/grey rabbit fur dress sporran
1 Black Rabbit fur dress sporran
All but the Black rabbit were made by me, with some input from my wife (leather carving and lacing)
The soft leather pouch and white/grey rabbit are my favourites.
I don't think you can have too many sporrans.

2. Ferguson Brit, Glengyle, Badger

3. A_Hay, Pictish Boar
