Title: Pair of kitties
Post by: Mesophilic on May 17, 2020, 05:42:39 pm

Finished up these two quivers.  Ended up lining them with pigskin as the hides were pretty soft and thin,  like rabbit after I got them tanned.  These are the first cased hides I've worked with and I learned alot.

My daughter is trying to claim one of them, so I'm uskng reverse psychology on her to make her earn it by practicing more.

What do you guys think?  Like Ed Green used to say "if the women don't find you handsome at least they can find  you handy."

Nice work on those self tanned quivers.I like it.
It's good your daughter knows the process.
Red Green is one of my favorites.

Thanks,  guys.  These were particularly challenging because I couldn't find a tutorial that made sense.  So i ended up looking at what images I could find and figured it out as I went along.
