Just a project I've been working on between ice storms and shifts in the Prison...

Templates I made:

What I have so far:

^^ The face is still wet from stamping and will go back to natural color when dry. ^^

All materials are from Tandy Leather except for the Tartan, which are remnants from when Barb made my Kilt. It sits under the Boss and is centered under the Triquetra.

The sporran face and back are 12-14oz cow hide, the gusset is ~4oz goat. The colors are 'British Tan" and common black.

The face color of the Sporran is going to match the Triquetra [british Tan], the Cantle is going to be black and carved to match the design [imprint] face of the Sporran.

I still have some smoothing to do on the Triquetra edges [where it's cut out] and I didn't get a pic of the gusset...but the gusset is a wide one, at 3" wide and is black.

All that's left to do is put the snap on and seal it with the semi gloss coating.

I had the occasion to wear it today. Sadly, it was for a fellow Officer's funeral.

My Class A uniform for Honor Guard, en-route to play at graveside:

The "metal piece" at the top, to which you are referring, is called a "Sporran Cantle"....or as we call them...simply "Cantle."

You can buy them here: http://lythgoesporrans.webs.com/apps/photos/album?albumid=8922979

Well...I made a new one that's more appropriate to the uniform -

I used the same process as the one above...with the exception that the leather is bound in Black nylon. The gusset is also black nylon.
