A Prototype Belt Quiver

(1/1)

WhistlingBadger:
Just a few pics of an experimental quiver I've been working on.  I should be getting my deer hide bark-tanned back from the tanners in a week or two, and I'm going to make something very much like this, trimmed with fur from a nice badger a friend gave me.  But since I've never built a quiver quite like this before (and never worked with fur), I decided to try out my design on the leg of an old pair of canvas pants.  Glad I did--had a few major screw-ups and start-overs that would have wrecked a nice deer skin.

I want a quiver that has the feathers pointing back, and one that hangs off my belt (shoulder straps are a pain hunting the back country with a pack).  I'm thinking of doing a build-along when I make the real thing, but thought I'd throw this on for the consideration of my stick-and-string brethren.





The whole thing hangs on a really cool iron hook gifted to me by our very own Kevin Halverson.

Looks good. I just don’t like bags and things banging and bouncing on my leg.  I prefer Native American style side quivers

Hawkdancer:
Right now, my main quiver is a behind the back side draw type.  Next leather project is a plains style from elk and beaver.  Need to make or trade for some heavy rawhide.  Plan to experiment on some old blue jeans first, though.  I think Jeffp51 had a build along or a thread a while back.

This one hangs a little lower than I like, but I took it out hunting bunnies and it really isn't too bad.  I plan to make the next one to hang a little higher and a little more horizontal.
