Whitetail quiver
Wolfmanjack:
I took a doe with my 45-70 back in November and decided to try and tan the hide and make myself a quiver. I fleshed the hide and left the hair in. One pound of aluminum sulphate, 4 pounds rock salt and 5 gallons of water. Let the hide soak for 8 days stirring the hide twice a day. It took a full week for the hide to dry out. Each day I would stretch the drying hide by hand.
I think it came out pretty good for my first try. I used b50 bowstring to sew it up.
Trapper Rob:
Looks nice
WhistlingBadger:
Good work! Does whitetail hair shed like muley hair does? Also, out of curiosity, do you hang your quiver with the feathers pointed forward or back?

Wolfmanjack:
I’m not sure about the shedding? This is my first time messing with a hide. I usually threw the hides away with the guts and bones. I’m not sure what you are asking about the feathers? I just stuck the arrows in the quiver. If there is a proper way to hang a quiver of arrows then please inform me. I’m still new to this and have to glean all my knowledge from this site.

Nice quiver and nice that you used the skin from an animal tou took yourself. Well done. :OK
