DIY brass cantle with mink sporran

Good catch Tobus! I used screws I had on hand and was planning on stopping today at the hardware store for brass screws.

A mink coat that was from my wife's side of the family is the donor. It's a 3/4 length coat so I have a lot of mink. I like to repurpose when I can. All the leather was from the scrap bin at Tandy. I did splurge and bought a suede hide for the inside. There is no reserve at the auction so someone could possibly get a good deal on this.

Well then, in a real sense you did "bag" the mink, and the other components, yourself. Good for you. Some lucky person is going to get a great looking sporran, hopefully for a great price for the auction beneficiaries.

Yes, it goes to our Clan Donnachaidh branch and helps to cover some costs and fund scholarships we give out during the year.
