Quiver made from sleeves of old leather jacket
bowmo:
Thanks man.
The bow I made like 10 years ago when I was like 18 or 19 and made crazier short bows. It's a set backed handle static recurved osage self bow. (man that felt hard to type) 51" ntn and pulls 62# 24" made from the first osage tree I ever cut, a small tree and stubbornly cut with a hand saw. haha
The quiver has little flaps with holes in them that I used a small stick on the top one and a piece of rawhide on the bottom, they tread through the holes and hold it in place. It was sticks on both top and bottom but I lost the one little stick one day and just rolled with it. You could just as easily sew on longer pieces of leather in the same spots that you just tied around the bow.

Very nice, I love going to good will, and other charity stores, to get leather purses, and belts, for BP hunting accoutrements, and such. Leather boots, for knife sheaths, etc. You did a great job. Nice job on yours also Bomo. ;)

I have been making black leather grips for bows for quite some time...all from one brand new new Harley Davidson brand vest I picked up for $8 at a thrift store! Next time, I look for.something with sleeves!
Oglala Bowyer:
Well then, looks like I'll never take any more of my Harley Davidson black vests to thrift stores again >:(
