Gents,
You are probably getting sick of my posts!
My defense is I have a 20-30 year backlog I'm working on.
Thoroughly enjoying being here though...seeing all the goodies you chaps create is fantastic!!
Not done much new for a few years, but appreciate critical replies, as I do like to learn, and only have one set of eyes. The more we see the more info we can pull from.
Like a challenge, and thought that a Wooden cantled sporran that looked Plausible might be a challenge.
Historically, I don't think there were any. (Where that puts me I don't know!)
But here is my offering for your input;
This is my own use sporran, and I don't like bling, but fancied a working model that looks old and worn, like granddad maybe used.
Made from a worn n-out 'leg -of -mutton' gun case, and some very old glove leather an aunt had on hand when she died in 1950!
Cantle is oak. the re-used reins are the sporran belt and not quite right, but they work.
Pull knob on top is an old window fastener, from back home and came with us somehow.
For some reason, I managed to get all the leather seams inside, but was a struggle to turn after sewing!!
Critical replies most welcome.
Richard.
