Would anyone be able to tell me if it is essential that i smoke this quiver or is it just a process to change the color of the hide and not totally necessary?

Definitely smoke it. Smoking a tanned hide is what keeps the hide from returning to a hardened state after it is moistened or soaked. The smoke acts as a preserving agent as well, and repels beetles from eating the hide. Smoking is easy though, especially since you already have it stitched. Add a bit f skirting to the opening of the quiver and treat it like a chimney over a large pot of punky smoldering wood. You can use a large tin can if you have one and cut a hole for air to enter towards the bottom. like this: http://pad1.whstatic.com/images/thumb/c/c7/Tan-a-Hide-Step-8.jpg/670px-Tan-a-Hide-Step-8.jpg

Let it smoke as long as you want but watch it close so as to not burn the hide at all. try to keep the smoky fire as cool as possible with more punk and moss or wet leaves without putting it out. The smoke also smells great and will rid the hide of any stench form decomp it may have picked up during the tanning.

helps to smoke it in the morning or in a shady spot, because you wanna make sure if any flame appears, you can see it easily and get to it
and smother it quick with more punk

Thank you dog,mohawk and dan!

Mohawk I used the largest one Target had to offer. I think it was either 20" or 24". There was even some rawhide wrapped inside the bone that i used for the top flaps
