The birth of a sporran

[hkcreations.livejournal.com]

The beginnings.
Cut out with a razor knife from a piece of veg tan leather


After some measuring, stamping, and hole punching


After antiquing, and several layers of finishing top coat are applied


The edges are then burnished and finished, then hardware and decorative studs are put in


Then the inner bellows/ inset is first glued on, then holes are punched for the edge lacing.
Four hours after that we have the finished product:


Total make time: 8 hours.

(sorry for the low quality pics, I need a new card reader for my better camera)
