Fresh shoot would be your best bet.

It was fresh.  Things dry out real fast here.  What takes weeks in the midwest or back east takes only days here.  But the dryness, consequently, things like wood end up alot more brittle.

Pat B:
as soon as you cut it, split it.   :OK

Mesophilic:
Can I just cut a hole in the side of the quiver and whip stitch it?

I've got a fur in, tube type quiver made from bear hide.  If I sling it on my lower back, I could cut an oval on the side facing away from me.  Whip stitch it and use that as an opening to pull arrows. 

Whatcha think?

My elm trees are getting a little bare as I keep trying to split branches for this project.  Not sure this rock elm/chinese elm hybrid is up to the stresses of bending and shaping.  My only other options are wild Rose's and pussy willow.
