I made the sporran ,sporran strap and belt my self I'm currently working on a dress sporran using a cantle I got from stillwater and a badger hide; I"ll post pics when I get it done

I'm very interested to see how your badger sporran comes out. I started one many moons ago, but allowed 6 or 12 other projects to intervene. With your prodding, maybe it will come back to the top of the list.

Personally, I really like that collection of "toys" you have placed around the fireplace.

Oh yeah, the kilt's nice too.

[Mr. Kilt]

Nice kilt!! However, what really caught my eye are the two flintlock pistols on the mantle. Something I've always wanted to get into.

Hey Joe, great looking kilt! I know you'll enjoy wearing that one around town. Now in the second pic is a table with what looks like petrified wood for legs! Am I correct? Your home looks wonderful.

Also, don't miss the tomahawks hiding behind the wooden shoes.

Can't wait to see pics of the sgian dubh and the badger sporrans.

I guess you can tell from the toys that my first love is muzzle loading/living history I've been doing it since 1971. I guess a love of kilts is a natural offshoot of it

The legs as well as the table top are made of wood,I bought the table when I lived in Alaska.the table was made in Oregon.

I love the kilt and the tartan

Very nice!

A very nice tartan. The leather sporran straps look the part - I am heading straight for the Internet to purchase (too many other things going on to make my own this time).
