deer skin quiver

osagejack:
got a deer skin in freezer  want to make a quiver whats the best way to tan it and maybe the simplest

robby:
Jack, Tanning is an option, but you can also make one from the raw hide. The two shown are ten years or so old. one is a winter hide, one is a summer hide. I cut the pattern, formed around a last, while dry. Wet it, sew it up, and slide it over the last and let it almost dry. The last is waxed and is in three parts with  a center wedge that is pulled to get the parts out. It does shrink some, and wants to stick to the parts even though they are waxed. Just an option, good luck!!! Almost forgot, it is varnished inside.
