Bamboo quiver
PatM:
I make bamboo bike frames and preventing splitting is a key point of the process. Punch the nodes out and coat the inside.
Letting the bamboo dry slowly is also a good preventative tip. I have many bikes that have been going for years with no hints of cracking and they get ridden really hard.

Doggone! P B you were having one of those days. It happens! Deer are funny critters - you never know what they are gonna do. I hunted with a fellow last year that wanted to take a couple of does for meat. We were walking out at sundown and there was a doe feeding in a green patch. He shot three times at it with a rifle and the deer went back to feeding! Insult to injury - I couldn't help laughing out loud. He is not a real dyed in the wool hunter....
H Rhodes:
I haven't had any problems with splitting. I let it dry in the sun pretty thoroughly before doing anything with it. Spray shellac coating. I did find that it won't tolerate grain violations. I thought about making a side access type quiver, but then splitting became a problem.
Here is another photo of the quiver.
