Quivers fur side in?

(1/3) > >>

bjrogg:
Any body make quivers fur side in? I realize everyone likes the look of the fur and I haven't made my own yet but have been planing one in my head. I'm thinking I want to go fur side in for several reasons. (1) burdock. Devils tail and all those other clingy seeds I always have to remove from fur before I put it up. (2) keep arrow protected and quite (3) keep arrows from falling out. I l have a couple mink that I use to transport and store my arrows. They are not yet tan just taken off the boards basically fur on rawhide. They work really well, with my stone point arrows i can hold upside down and they won't fall out.

I'd be interested in what folks think also. :-\
I have parts of a Kudu, Zebra and an otter
hide that can be made into quivers.

My blueprint in my head will use tail as part of strap for a hip quiver I might try to dress it up with some beads and a bit of fringe and fur trim. So far it's all in my head if anybody has any tips or examples I'd love to see them

DC:
Ishi made them fur side in. Form follows function :)

Peatreg:
I've seen a Navajo mountain lion quiver and bowcase set with the fur in on the bowcase and out on the quiver. I saw one attributed to Ishi that was otter and had the fur outside. Majority had the fur outside and I  haven't seen any personally fur inside. Doesn't mean you can't but as far as native quivers go majority were fur in.
