Making my own sporran

[David in Maryland]

I decided I want to make my own pouch style sporran. So here is a picture of me working on it.



I have fleshed the deer hide, and now currently removing the hair and grain. Once done with the tanning process, this hide will turn into an ultra suede known as buckskin, and then turned into a sporran. This is a very soft material that will be perfect for pouch style sporrans such as the Rob Roy. The hide comes from my hunting this past year.

We have proof, someone is actually working!!!

Great shot, and I think that a buckskin sporran will definetly look awesome. Cannot wait to see the finished product.

Very nice...I'm not the greatest wi' me hands, but I think if I just start making stuff, no matter how bad, I'll eventually get the hang of it. Everybody has to start somewhere.

I love this forum, I get so inspired.

A cellist in a kilt is a cellist and a half.

Or, a cellist who just cut off half!

Geez, did I just say that? Bad Mr. Teacher.
