Beaver Quiver

<< < (5/5)

Stoner:
Thank you for posting pictures of how you fastened the strap. Always struggle with that , stitch, rivet, tie. Great craftsmanship.

Just got another beaver & split the tail. Was thinking about making another willow hoop to stretch the hide. May reconsider now. John

No problem Stoner, I am looking forward to see the finished quiver if you will make one from your beaver hide. I think the key to making one is to glue sheep skin or other fur on the inside portion of the quiver and to reinforce the bottom (see materials in posting) to prevent arrow heads from perforating the bottom and to give the beaver stability and to make it quiet.

Tracker0721:
Love it! Awesome quiver and great display. I’m gonna play with making some heads like those, looks like a super efficient design. The tassels though, what’re they for? I put thumb hooks on my rifle slings but my quiver goes across my back and holds itself in position. Just curious

Philipp A:
@Tracker0721,

Thanks for your comments, it is much appreciated. The tassels are really just for looks / decoration. This quiver also goes across my back and the beaver hide strap with the tassels goes across my chest. I used the lynx fur tails in lieu of the yarn tassels used in the Algonquin quiver I used as a model for my quiver (dimensions etc.) I thought the lynx tails looked prettier than the yarn tassels. The same is true for the folded lynx fur on top. It is very fluffy fur and prevents any rattle from the arrows in the quiver. They are in there rock solid whether you fill the quiver or not
