These are some of the sporrans I've made. The cantles are from Stillwater. The fur sporran is kangaroo.

A friend gave us some reenacting gear because they were getting out of the hobby. Included was a hair-on kangaroo skin (no idea where or why they got it). I figured, what more natural thilng to make a pouch (sporran) out of, than kangaroo? When I cut the fur pieces out, I made sure that the lay of the fur ran vertically, top to bottom. I also used fur for the gusset, two pieces so that the lay of the fur ran down both sides toward the center. Other than being careful about the lay of the fur, I treated those pieces like any other leather.
