I am with you about those gourd people, they are just weird, but only as long as you are not one of those want's us to collect shoes, because the master clearly wants us to take off one shoe.

I did nave a thought about the quaich, after seeing the one linked a few posts ago. Any item available with a clan crest is subject to the crest designs available to the manufacturer. I know there are some items I can not get with mine in some catalogs. The XMTS being a custom design only made by one manufacturer, may not be available as an added design. It could probably be engraved, but the art charge might make this less than ideal. Wood work or leather work being something that is easier to customize may be a better answer.

I have the opinions but not the skill to make things, so throwing out ideas is all I can contribute to this project.

Unbelievable.

Except that I do in fact believe it.

I'll be on the committee, I'll be the absent one...

The link that I posted earlier is from Gaelic Themes, the folks who produced the XMTS badges that are sold by Steve. They would have no problems reproducing said badge, because they made it.
