So we've had a PITH, KITH, and now a BITH.....anybody up for a QITH (quiver in the hat)? I broke a few bows and got my feelings hurt by the broken wood >:( and decided I needed a break. I've been playing with leather the last few months. With the BITH going on, this may not be ideal timing, but thought I would throw it out there. Any interest?
-
Of course! Always interested, and I would find time for it.

I have a hard enough time lacing a handle wrap let alone a quiver ;D I look forward to to seeing your guys' work though.
-
if i knew how to make a quiver i would have a nice one
instead of the crappy 1970's era quiver i use in the back yard
so like NTD, i look forward to se your peoples work ;D
-
Sounds good..What are you thinking about time line and such
Thanks Leroy
-
Hmmm sounds cool I'd like to join but first get some rules up on mats ect... And of a timeline ;D I'm guessing some mite need to gather mats for this one or trade for for the mats
Sterling

Yeah I think I'll watch too. It would be awesome if one or a few of you guys would take some photos and do a build along for those of us who have no idea what we are doing. I have been wanting to make one, but haven't taken the time between my 10 other hobbies to figure it out yet.

As far as timeline, how about coinciding with the BITH? That end date is July 4th and the final sign up is Feb 28.
As far as material's, I would say anything goes EXCEPT plastic/Fiberglass? Up to the group. I plan on using wood and leather. ;)
Bevan
-
Timeline with the BITH works for me. As far as material- bamboo, wood, leather, basket style, I'm open to anything.
-
Sounds good to me I'm in
-
I'm in July 4th is good 8) Right handed
Thanks Leroy
-
Heck If it's July 4th I can learn by then, I will get in. I'm right handed.
-
Are you going to keep the list Jeff? Looks like we need one. Also, should it be a blind draw for everyone like the BITH?
Bevan
-
Sure- I will organize it. I'll keep the list and let Marie do the blind draw.
-
I'm in. Right handed. i just suggested a arrow in the hat kind of deal too.
-
I think you ought to ask Marie, first ;)
-

Double ditto for me! Maybe I should make a trade for a quiver and then throw that quiver in the hat. Or maybe just make a trade for the quiver and keep it. My head hurts. ???
-
You been diving for knapping rock, JW? ;D
Bevan

I will get in Jeff, I think I can learn how to make one if I that kind of timeline. I just didn't want to get into a quiver trade if we were going to do a 2 week thing, don't think I would have had time to learn and do it justice that quickly. I'm right Handed.
-
We have 7 people with 7 days left. Let's get a few more :) if you aren't sure on what to do, look at this as an opportunity to learn something new and trade it off. Its about the giving not the receiving, so don't worry about the quality- do your best and have fun!
-
Jeffutley57- LH
BevanR
Stoker- RH
Skyarrow
HickoryBill- RH
JW Halverson- Maybe
Michael C- RH
-
I forgot to say I'm right handed
-
Just a couple of more days...surely we can get a few more in ;)
-
Anyone pmed anyone else they think might be interested in, I noticed a lot of people didn't even notice the KITH post until after we had started.
-
Looks like this is the list. Could everyone shoot me their address for the drawing?
BevanR
Stoker- RH
Skyarrow- RH
HickoryBill- RH
JW Halverson- Maybe- did you want to be in?
Michael C- RH
Thanks!
-
Looks like this is the list:
Jeffutley57- LH
BevanR-RH
Stoker- RH
Skyarrow- RH- need address
HickoryBill- RH
JW Halverson RH- need address
Michael C- RH
Once I get the remaining addresses, I will shoot everything over to Marie so she can do the drawing. Thanks and I look forward to starting mine! I already have the raw materials picked out...
-
:) this is going to fun and interesting.
-
Sorry I had been working late I sent my addy to you :) and once names are drawn can we contact our person to see how tall they are and there general body shape so if it's a plains style or over the shoulder style quiver it will fit right
-
OK- I finally got the addresses put into an IM to CalendarGirl. We should receive our victim in the next day or two. Sterling- You can if you want or if you want...unless everyone has a preference to keep it a surprise...what do you all think?
-
I think having an idea of what size the person is could be done here if everyone wants to do that :) I'm pretty average at 5'11" 175# I don't think it would ruin the surprise if you got in touch with them either though.
-
i agree its just for dimensions the person will never know what style you are making. most quivers hang from the shoulder except the belt style lol so i see nothing wrong with it
-
Got mine :) and I'm already formulating how it's going to be done, good luck to everyone.
