Basket quivers

(1/10) > >>

Pat B:
  I've been messing around with making a few basket quivers. I made a trade with a guy from another site. He sent me a box full of basket making materials and I made him a basket quiver. It took me a few tries before I made one I wanted to send him. The smallest quiver(red) was my first and I think they improved from there. The one I made for him is the next to the last with the accent bands at the top. On the last 2 I used choke cherry bark for accent strips. Straps are adjustable to insure a good fit. These are back quivers except the smaller red one and I made it as a side quiver.
  A few of these may show up at the Classic.  ;)

Pat, they're wonderful! 

Would you use them as they are or would you recommend a little internal padding to keep the noise down?

Pat B:
Thanks, Hatch. 
  I put a leather disc in the bottom of each to protect it from the points. A fur or leather collar would help with noise but I didn't add that. It would probably be easy to do.

Now I'll have to try to get to the classic if only for a day trip. Too many nice things to see, good work.
 Question, are these quivers quiet or do arrows rattle. I hunt from the ground a lot and am interested in a more traditional quiver.
