First try at making a quiver
osage outlaw:
I have been wanting to make a quiver for a while. Recently I traded for a full deer hide with the fur on it. But when I got it, I just couldn't bring myself to cutting it up. It just looked amazing. I think I will hang it up on the wall in the garage instead. So, I have been looking for something else to use. Last week I spent the day shopping with the wife and found myself in a large fabric store. I started to wonder around and I ended up finding some genuine immitation emu skin. I got a small piece of it to use for handle wraps. Once I got home, I started looking at it and thought it would make a cool quiver, so I went back and bought a larger piece. I had my mom help me sew it up. She is a retired seamstress. I wasn't sure where to attach the straps, or how long they should be, we just kind of guessed. I think it turned out OK. I have enough of it left to make a couple more, so if you have any suggestions for improvements, fire away. I need to cut a thick piece of leather to put in the bottom of it.

Looks good you should make a arm guard to match ;)

Already thought of that. Should make a nice set with a handle wrap too.

Nice looking arrow sock! :)
I know it is not ABO or even primitive but you might look around for a heavy plastic bottle to form the bottom of the quiver. Still put a piece in the bottom but a plastic cup will also help hold the bottom of the quiver open.
Check out the QITH that is forming. ;)

Thanks, I checked the QITH thread, but I don't want to sign up for it. I would be cheating someone. I bought the material and it took my mom all of 30 minutes to sew it up. I am sure everyone else will have a lot more time and work in their quiver. I just wouldn't feel right about it.
