I hate quivers
Fox:
I love your quivers bow Ed there really nice, I'm going to have to try that style
Hawkdancer:
Great build along, Ed. Gives me a couple of ideas for the full fox hide I have. Maybe should practice with a lesser hide, though.

Mesophilic.....For a 24" long quiver take a green tapered dogwood or some similar shoot of 3/8" thickness on the big end 22" long.Tie off with artificial sinew or better yet real sinew [glaze over with shellack later after dried]5" from the big end and 5" from the narrower end.Split very carefully the center 12".Use wedges to hold it apart in a crescent shape with the center around 3" wide.Let it dry a few weeks and it'll stay that way.Sew it to your split bellied critter.
If made right these leather fur type quivers don't rattle the shafts either while stalking or roving.

I cut a shoot of elm, don't have many options here. Split great and in my climate, I'll have it dry in 3 days ;D

That should do the trick for ya.

It was dry, it was beautiful...and then I broke it >:(
Going to try again with a new strategy. Might switch to a fresh shoot of wild rose.
