Hickory bark arrow storage tube.

<< < (2/2)

BowEd:
Yes if left on it's own not around something to dry completely to give it a final shape it will shrink into a very small unserviceable tube.A person would need to rehydrate  it and let it dry around a larger circumference shape.
If a round form is not used it will warp also.Example.

Tube shown at beginning of post same as left shown tube is actually from 1 half of a trees' circumference.
Hickory here will have a very thick cambium layer compared to most other trees.Close to 1/8" thick.Revealed when it is popped off as the sap is flowing and the bark removed as shown on tube on right.

WhistlingBadger:
That is really nice.  I could never use something like that as a quiver, aside from the weight...I'd set it against a tree and never be able to find it again!   ;D
