Title: Christmas presents
Post by: Loope on December 25, 2015, 12:02:34 pm
Made a bow for a brother, and a pocket quiver and back quiver for a nephew.  Wow, I had no idea how long it would take to make a quiver!  Having never made one, I underestimated the time required... and when it was finally time to stitch it together, I got quite the surprise that I could not fit my hand inside the tube for stitching.  I had to find my longest pliers to work the needle on the inside, and it still wasn't easy.  But I persevered and finished the quiver... then I fought with the temptation to give away my commercial quiver and keep the handmade for myself :)  My conscience won out and my nephew gets this one after all.

I hope you all get a chuckle thinking about me trying to sew the inside of a roughly 3 inch tube!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Michael

Very nice!

My grandpa always says "son, the impossible only takes just a little bit longer"!

You done a nice job, and I'm sure that young man will be very proud of his new quiver!  Merry Christmas!
