Just got all the kinks worked out with this quiver tonight. I used my belt sander to cut the hole in the side, just kinda laid it in the curve of the edge of the sander and let it do all the work. I think it worked rather nicely. I fabricated this thing as I went, there's no telling how many times I took it apart and changed something and put it back together. I had a hard time coming up with a way to have loops for the strap. I think it turned out pretty cool. I was trying to get away with not using metal rings and I think my solution is pretty awesome. Jute twine and Green paracord make up the bindings and strap. The strap is a simple 3 strand braid. The loops for the strap are paracord braided as well. The quiver will only hold 7 arrows but that should be plenty for stumpin or 3D coursin... If I need more arrows at a time then that means I just need to practice shooting more often, right?! :) ...Thanks for looking guys, hope you enjoy. :)

What do you think? I am going to seal the Jute twine with epoxy thinned with acetone tomorrow when it is daylight, Other than that this one is done. Time to finish my copperhead bow now. ;) -josh

Looks good Josh, I would like to get my grubby little hands on some boo that size :)
-
Looks fine to me... ;)
-
most excellent 8)
-
Looks great Josh. I like the way you attached the strap.
-
maybe i should stop down the road, as someone has cut out a bunch of bamboo out of their back yard..
-
Very nice work!!
-
JW is there any specific purpose for the cut out side? Ive always like the look but never known the function ;). sharp lookin quiver btw
-
Looks good, I've made a few just about like that. Aries, the cut-out is so you can reach in and get arrows out without having to pull them all the way out from the end. Very handy when you're hunting and don't want to make any unnecessary exaggerated movements. Most people wear them the opposite way of how Aero has it on in the pic-the feathers usually point toward the back.

Thanks everyone! Hillbilly is right, I put the straps on the wrong side of the quiver, the arrows were facing the wrong way for the style quiver I was going for. So today I redid it. and epoxied the wrapping down. I also added a leather area for the shoulder to the strap. This is quickly becoming my favorite quiver. I am gonna finish sealing it with tru oil tonight and call her done. Whaddaya think?

Oh yeah I shoot left handed so the quiver is on the correct side too in case anyone was wondering about that. ;D ;D ;D
-
Looks good man
-
Nice job!! Was it difficult to work with green bamboo?
-
Nice quiver Josh, you did a good job on it. I never seen one made of boo.
-
thanks guys... It wasn't really "green" bamboo as in fresh cut, I have had it in my workshop for 6 months so it was fully dried. It just never got direct sunlight so it retained its natural color. I used 80 grit sandpaper to sand some of the rind off to give it the multi green color. :)
-
Josh, way to go man, awesome quiver. Are you going the the shoot at Brierfield this coming weekend?
-
Nice quiver.Hey,that looks very familiar.Check out mine included in the thread" Legs makes meat" with added quiver pics, on page 14 or 15 of "Hunting and Shooting". Good job on your quiver. ;) God Bless
-
Cool Pete looks cool! I am gonna have to put some leather on mine around the rim to quiet it down like you did. Thanks for the tip! :)
thanks!
-
Josh, what diameter is that, looks like 3 1/2"- 4'. Looks great.

i think it's like 3 inches diameter I will measure it tomorrow to be sure. Thanks! :)
-
Josh, If you put double straps on it, you can wear it down the center of your back if you get in real, thick brush. Like a back pack, one strap on each shoulder.
-
You did a good job on that! It looks great!!!
-
That's slicker than grease eel snot. May have to steal that idea for myself.

Cool thanks Eddie! I am going to do that tonight. I can just double them up when I am wearing it as a side quiver and then just separate the straps to wear it on my back when going through thick brush. That's about all we have here in my part of AL. Mostly privet thickets interwoven with thorn bushes, LOL.
Thanks for the compliments everyone! :)
-
Very nice, Josh. I had been considering using a piece of bamboo like that but have wider diameter probably about 5" and figured it'd be too much. I might have to get myself a 3.5 to 4" piece and give that a go, though. Your details on the quiver are very nicely done. The cleanness of the jute wrap, the leather band, and the cord braid. Nice, man!
-
Nice looking quiver,I have one almost like that I got at The TTAS auction a few years ago.They work great. :) well done.
