How-To on English Style Quivers

(1/2) > >>

Does anyone out there know how to make an old English style quiver that would go well together with a longbow?  I did a search and didn't find anything, but someone could post their how-to or direct me to the right place, I'd be grateful.  Thanks!

Cromm:
Not sure what you mean. Do you have a photo of what you are after?
Or is it something like this;


or



Thanks for your time.

Yes, I would say something like either of those.  Honestly, I'm sorry to say I don't an exact example of what I'm looking for, but I know I'm looking for a simple back quiver with little frills.  I thought leather would be nice to have, (although I've seen the white cloth ones that aren't bad) and I don't feel like paying as much for my quiver as my bow, so thought I'd like to try making one myself.  The one in the pic below is also a good representation.

Also, where does one go to find leather?

Cromm:
Hi,
OK well back quivers as far as I can tell are as old as Hollywood films with Errol Flynn in green are. So it drpends on if you want something that is old England or Ye Olde Hollywood England??
What part of the world are you in? Medieval fairs or ebay or trading for some leather can be places to try.
Thanks for your time.
