Bamboo quiver
H Rhodes:
Yeah, Rich this little quiver will hold four or five arrows, which is usually more than enough for a day of deer hunting. I can't recall ever shooting at a deer twice with a bow... They don't seem to hang around for me, but I always take some spares - just in case..... I try to hold myself to twenty yards or less, and I would rather have one so close that I can smell 'em....
Prarie Bowyer:
Unless you are hunting with me. i need all 5 and it's nice to have a good solid quiver to throw that can pack a whollop also.
JW_Halverson:
Shoot a picket fence of arrows around 'em, then beat 'em to death with the bow? Whatever it takes Prarie Bowyer. >:D

It reaches diameters of 2- 3 inches and will accomodate four or five arrows (or 12 oz cans >:D). I am going to plant some of this stuff and get it growing at the house. It has all sorts of uses. P B send me a pm and maybe we can barter.

Golden is a runner. Be sure you read up on growing it.

Nice, Howard. Looks really good.
I got some bamboo poles at a flea market recently. A guy was makin bird houses out of em. He was fixin to close up shop and sold me several 8' poles, all for 10 bucks. I cut them to quiver length and that is as far as I got. I heard they split when they dry so I sprayed the ends with shellac. So far so good. I haven't made any more progress, yet. Yours turned out so well, I guess I'll have to get back on em. Did you have any problem with splitting or did you take preventative measures to prevent it?
