Arrows / Plains style Quiver
« Last post by Robert Pougnier on January 06, 2026, 06:09:06 pm »I found a large ottoman with nice cowhide in the dumpster over new years. I took it home and made a couple quivers and some gear bags to go with.
Here are some pictures of a quiver inspired by those made by the tribes of the northern and southern plains region.
Materials are reclaimed cowhide, buckskin lacing and fringe, eastern red cedar plug, river cane stiffener and copper nails.
Thanks for looking!

Yes, I’ll see how things progress in the next weeks and if we can make it work. There will be plenty to do coming up but it would be great to shoot over to the event.

Bows / Re: First go with Black Locust
« Last post by jameswoodmot on January 06, 2026, 02:30:28 pm »Had the suspicion that it had some more moisture to loose even after the radiator and heat gun treatment. Been on the radiator again since yesterday evening and it’s dropped 5% of its weight. 736g to 6.98?
How does BL do with moisture in general? I assume not as good as Osage but better than white woods?

Horn Bows / Re: Buffalo horn and sinew (update…new non traditional build)
« Last post by superdav95 on January 06, 2026, 02:06:01 pm »There is plenty of thickness with these that I found. At least when I got mine.
As for this project it turned out way too heavy for me. When I got it to low brace after some time and much effort I realized that this bow would likely kill me to try and shoot or if I managed to pull it back I couldn’t trust it not to explode on me. I may revisit this later but for now trying to pull back a 200 lbs bow is not what I’m after.
