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!

Its actually leather. And the half way between long hair and short dressy sporran is what I wanted.....If I commission another sporran....I'll ask them to deepen the pouch...it's about 1 1/2 inch shorter than what I normally like.
