i dont have a picture but i am making a quiver out of untanned stiff deer hide of a doe i killed last year. i had sent her hide to be tanned, but they didnt tan it. So i soaked it and then rubbed some water and ash mix and let it hang to make a quiver.

Hi,

M-P, very impressive! How long did you work on that one?

whatareyadoin, I just tried to explain how to make such a harness, but it sounds terribly complicated.  I think I better take some detail photos who explain themselves.
The harness can be adjusted to every size (to wear it as well over a t-shirt or a thick jacket) which makes the building a bit more difficult. A fixed size would be very easy to build.

There is a Wicker Quiver that i have my eyes set on right now. That will be real nice come Spring spring for turkey hunting.

Radon,  I have to confess that I commissioned the fancy quiver from a friend who does leatherwork on a more professional level than myself.  He spent over forty hours making it.   Ron

All of your quivers look so great I am ashamed to show mine.  Ah, what the heck.

I am working on a cat quiver pattern that I roaged off the internet, but I am going to cover
it with leather and do some tooloing.

Here is what I am using.  I didn't make it, its a JW Classic.  Ostich trim.  I plan to make one as soon as I get my first skin with a self bow.  I think I'll try a hip quiver though, because I am either not adjusting this one correctly or I am not limber enough - I am having a tough time reaching the arrows...

I made this one last summer (2006).  It is my favorite so far.  I think my next project will be to experiment with different quiver styles.

What does everyone think of the idea of a burlap/jute/hessian/the stuff sand bags are made of quiver with leather and fur trim?

Just a project I was thinking of, the material would be doubled over preferably, and id hope to use rabbit fur (OBVIOUSLY shot with air rifle, bowhunting is illegal in the UK ;) ) around the top, and some thin leather stitched over the bottom. Strap would probably be sone string plaited into a cord.

I'm not following native american/medieval ideas, I'm just doing my own thing here and going with what is functional and attractive.

Love to show you a picture of my current quiver, but my camera isn't with me at the moment. It's dark brown goatskin, and the top is made of a thicker tan leather, which is still not thick enough to stand by itself, i bought them both off ebay. to keep the top open, I bent a piece of green maple into a circle, tied it with wire, then untied it when it was dry, and stitched the tan leather around it. The strap is made of plaited cord as described in the second paragraph, and by means of moving a knot it is adjustable. It is that soft white string that you seem to be able to buy everywhere, at least in the UK. It's a nice quver, but it's not very big, 6 arrows is the realistic limit.

PS anyone know a good source of cheap, thick leather? Shooting deer isn't pheasable in my current situation, I was thinking more like calfskin.

the feathers look really nice, yes! but they are industrially colored; they look more natural due to the irregularities!
