Bark Quiver the second

<< < (2/3) > >>

AndrewS:
Pat, I will tell Marius from you....


First pic shows how I had wrapped the elmbark around a tube. That is the thin version. Hickory bark is very thick and hard if dry. May be you can soak it in warm water and give it a new form before drying again.

I cut the slit for gripping the arrows with a bandsaw in the dry bark tube and after I sew the overlapping pieces with the chair weave cane.

On the second pic is a drawing of the cherrystripe connection.

I made a long (endless) stripe of cherrybark that is fixed at the start with 5 min Epoxy and then wrapped around the whole tube of elmbark. Then I fixed it at the opening of the quiver also with 5min Epoxy and later a I have sewn around with a thin cherrybark stripe....

AndrewS:
More pics of different  stages of cherrybark.

Pat B:
Thanks, Andrew. I'll be giving the bark quicer a try next spring and I'll work on the Kwanzan cherry bark to see what I can do with it.  :OK
I appreciate your explanations.
