Honest advice, buy good leather. Cheap leather will dry out, crack and or rot away to nothing.
Pat B:
Russell, I've been getting relatively inexpensive leather each year from the Tenn Classic. There is a vender that sell oil tanned sides for about half price($60). I've been buying one or 2 each year for the last 4 or 5 years. The items in my pic above is the leather I got at last year's Classic.
Crazy Crow and Moscow Hide, both sponsors I think, have leather, hides and fur. Most companies have sales and discontinued deals.
Russ:
thank you! sorry, i should have started a new thread.
Handforged:
Here's mine. I made this one 10-12 years ago and it has seen a bunch of upgrades and iterations since then. It was originally green but that dye faded and was dyed again. It gets a years coat of oil and put up for the season. I think this one has been along for about 23-24 heads of game. Coyote around the rim is from one of my kills. I started painting the Cou feathers that I tooled into the quiver a few years back. The slots are for lashing things to the quiver when I need to get back up into the hills a little farther than usual. It's a roomy quiver and will hold a small kit as well.
BowEd:
