I have been considering trying to build my own sporran, but have been having a hard time finding a supplier for leather. Yes, I have considered finding a leather coat at Goodwill/Thrift stores to practice with and probably will. However I got to wondering how the hide gets from animal to ready to use? I have friends who hunt so deer and other wild game hides would not be hard to come by but then what?? I know that we have so wonderful leather workers on this forum and I would love to learn from your experiance.
