NOT the worst sporran ever.

**Kilted Cole** · 10th September 13, 05:19 PM

Okay, many of you know of Bonsai Pottery on ebay and their.....full mask sporrans......Well I decided to see if they would be willing to do a custom sporran for yours truly.
They did and this is what I asked for. Fur sporran, NO mask, boar fur, and no sporran straps. Since many of us probably have something in our closets that looks more like a Scottish wind chime made from sporran chain straps. I have since reduced my wear only to three sporran straps, two all leather and one black and one dark brown, and one made from a cheap airsoft rifle OD green strap.........anyhow back to the product.....I am pleased with the end result......

Nice, looks good and well made. A good buy.

I like it, especially the peak in the "cantle", instead of an arch. I have a groundhog hide in the freezer that I just might see if the this maker can produce into a sporran.

I say do it.

I would say that is a really nice sporran. I'm a little green with envy. One question; it's kinda hard to tell in the photos but is the cantle black metal or it is actually leather?

Seems to be a substantial piece with a good, wide gusset—a place where many sporrans fall short, in my opinion. Great looking hide. I may have to cut Bonsai some slack.

An impressive, unique, and subtly artistic bit o' kit. You should be very pleased and proud indeed!

**Tim Little** · 10th September 13, 08:02 PM

Very nice, indeed! Kudos to Bonsai!

Very nice sporran. I'm more than a little surprised that Bonsai Pottery was able to produce something lovely for a change. Kudos!

I like it. Kind of between the short, more formal fur sporrans and the longer hair ones that you see in the Victorian-style sporrans. The leather cantle really sets it off. Very nice work.
