On Wednesday, I went with Dusty in our local forest for getting some cherrybark. It was sucessful, but there is no piece for a bow backing. So I have made a Hipquiver for 6-8 arrows max.

Very nice Andrew. Is it laced together or glued? Pat

Thanks for coments :)
This quiver is glued.
I put the bark around a 2" tube, put a little carpenters glue on, ready.
Around the quiver i put some hempfibers (at the bottom, at the top an two times on the rest of the quiver). At the top I glued a little stripe of foxfur inside the quiver, so arrows dont rattle. Inside on the bottom I put some moose, so the points dont rattle ;).
The sloop for the belt is two layers of cherrybark, fixed with the hemp at the top of the quiver.
Oh and I forgot to say. The bark is inside out ;D- you see the former inside of the bark as the outside of the quiver.

That looks like pin cherry. Can Prunus serotina (black cherry, the cherry lumber tree) bark be used similarly and for bow backing or is pin cherry the way to go? Black cherry bark is scaly.
