bamboo quiver ?

<< < (3/3)

Scowler:
You could split the bamboo, cut the node material out with a sharp knife (except the bottom one), fit the two pieces back together and either/or glue them back together or bind them together with any natural fiber string/cord (hemp, jute, etc...)  a small cut to size piece of thick leather makes a good protector for the bottom.

I saw a how to where the fellow split the bamboo down the middle, trimed out the node centres then glued the halves back together.

TRACY:
Mine is about the same diameter. Hillbilly told me to use a piece or 1/4" steel rod and perforate it every so often around the edge and it will come out. Worked well in a few minutes. Used a half round file to clean the rough edge. Then did like Pat and put an inch thick piece of foam in the bottom to secure points/ protect the bottom node material. Leather cup around the bottom with sling attached to top finished it off. Had to pet a piece of leather and foam inside to cut down on arrows rattling t the top end.
