I love the sporran closure, is that an oak leaf with acorns? (Hard to see on my phone screen) I'm always looking to incorporate a holly sprig and berries into my attire, your pic has inspired me....

I admire the oak and acorn (as a forester graduate even more) but my family plant is Hazel sapling. I have to settle with my eye color and at times a "lost in the woods" look. Good job on both items.

thank you!
I'm still not sure what clan I belong to but I chose oak because I'm a woodsman
holly and hazel would be interesting, maybe make something (like a dirk or sgian) out of one of those woods for a handle?
I would be interested in seeing what you find GrainReaper!
haha I get the "lost in the woods part" Tarheel!

Love the deer fur!!! Mine has grey rabbit fur as the outer face, it always gets a lot of attention.
