That's awesome!  I think if you came to my sunday meetin' I wouldn't be able to pay attention to the sermon.
Florida to Kwajalein to Turkey and back in Florida again.  Good to be home but man was that an adventure!

Good looking quiver Rich. Damn kids still shooting your shed door full of holes I see? Id set up a camera and bust 'em red handed!

Great quiver!  Besides loving the use of bearhide (never seen that on a 'plains style' quiver) I love the black/white contrast between the fur and the decorations.

Thanks fellas, Scowler@ the quiver is in the GreatLakes Riverine style (foot and canoe culture) where the quivers go toward the right shoulder and usually dont have a bow case (usually, some do exist but mostly not). The plains tribes, including the western Ojibwe (Bungi) were in the plains style which was over the left shoulder and usually includes a bow case and acessory pouch. It's my understanding that the plains style were done left shoulder so they could be rotated to the front and dropped over the whole body which made the arrows accessible to the right hand like in a saddle scabbard. The Eastern Ottawa, Ojibwe, Wyandot, Ho Chunck etc. usually carried thier bows in the hand.

I got the bear skin Idea from a plains style in Otis Mason's report to the Smithsonian, where he shows a Shoshoean black Bear quiver trimmed with ermine skin. Thanks for the compliment,sir.
