What is good leather for a Lakota style quiver?

(1/2) > >>

Part time Archer:
Building a Lakota style quiver soon. Ordering off of crazy crow and need help choosing correct leather choice. Any insight?

Peatreg:
I've ordered a couple of their elk hides but I had a big issue with the sueded side of the commercial hides transferring lint as it were on everything. Clothing, car seats, etc. Their German tanned hides are probably the nicest that they offer and is sueded on both sides much like braintanned. It's also pretty thick which would hold its shape pretty good as well. I made one with rawhide reinforcing the top and bottom of the quiver to help maintain its shape better. The rawhide on the top is outside the quiver with the top edge rolled over and stitched below the bottom edge of the rawhide at the top of the fringe to keep it from falling out.

bubby:

I'm partial to hair on hide quivers

Knoll:
Bub, hope there's room in your suitcase . . . . . .

Knoll:
Peatreg .... that rig is gorgeous!
