Leather possibles pouch/ sporran

[Hibrion]

Hi guys.

I thought I'd share this leather possibles pouch/ sporran I made over the last two days. Thanks to Ozhaggishead for the tutorial on how to make this type of pouch.

It's made from goat skin and veg tan cow hide; saddle stitched with waxed nylon thread; button made from a piece of moose antler. I dyed it using fiebings dark brown oil dye and finished with a light coat of resolene.

It's not perfect, and it's definitely not as fancy as Dreadhead's sporrans, but it's my first go at a leather pouch and by far the most ambitious leather project I've attempted to date.

Pictured alongside my enzo trapper I handled in desert ironwood, for scale.

I made it more or less the same size as the one Ozhaggishead made in his tutorial.

The knife pictured is an Enzo Trapper, which might give you a better idea of overall scale.
