Title: Quiver, by request
Post by: Robert Pougnier on November 22, 2025, 02:44:25 pm
Here are some photos of a couple of woven quivers.

The first is made of umbrella sedge (papyrus sp.) harvested in south carolina. 25 inches long by 3.5 inches in diameter. Stiffened with a length of meadowsweet. Comfortably holds a dozen arrows.

The second is made of black ash harvested in vermont. The weavers were split in half which make them pretty smooth.  24" by 4 an 1/4. Holds 18+ arrows.

Photos of Ash quiver.

I gave someone here an almost identical quiver to the umbrella sedge one over a decade ago, It may have been seen on PA before.

Very nice woven quivers.  :OK   I've made a few basket style quivers over the years.

That's just beautiful in the way something very simple and plain can be. I'd love to sit down with you over a weekend and make a few with you just for the experience!

That would be awesome, I rarely get to make things with other folks! Depending on the materials used they can be very time consuming. They can also be done a lot nicer than these two were.

I'll try to do that in the future. I'm learning how to get my camera and photo set up better so I can do stuff like that. I had no idea about the end of year giveaway!

Wow, those are really nice!  Weaving is a great mystery to me.  I admire people that can do it.   )P(

I really like woven quivers, they are totally durable and pretty. I have not figured out a great way to quiet them though. I usually stuff a tinder bundle in the bottom, or wood shavings. And sometimes I've sewed or glued on some buckskin or fur strips around the rim. That seems to help, otherwise they are super scratchy, especially the ash one.
Thanks!

I might use my woven quiver this winter. I find myself ambush hunting more than crawling around, and I take off the quiver in that ambush style of hunting once in place. They are noisier.

Really nice work. Welcome to PA.
