There is a fellow in the UK, Nick Birmingham. He goes by bigbowbrom on youtube. Do a search using his handle, and he has a great how-to video series on making a medieval arrow bag. He also has lots of other very good how-tos on medieval martial archery activities. Check it out!

A slight typo there adb, Nick Birmingham goes by bigbowbrum. Brum being short for Brumigan (I think thats how you spell it), which is slang for Birmingham or a citizen of there.

Thanks for the replies!  I greatly appreciate it!  I've already bought the fabric and am ready to go.  The only thing that I don't have is the pattern for the arrow spacer.  Do y'all happen to know where I may get a copy of it?

I made my quiver a few months ago just off of what I thought it should lool like. Then after watching the Robin hood movie, I also wanted my quiver to look like it's been through a campaign or two. 
So here's a few pics of my attempts to get it all weathered and rough (it started out white). If anybody wants, I'll share what I did.

I just basically looked at the arrow bag i made and guessed? I know that doesn't help much but it's what happened :)

I made a circle with my two hands 'till it looked about the right shape and size and then drew a similar circle on a piece of leather.
Mine came out a bit bigger. It can hold about 26 arrows. Now I just need a warbow to match. Gonna get me some new wood tomorrow.Would you like the diameter of the spacer?

It's 6'' wide. I don't have any leather working punches so I used someone else's. They're about 1/2'' wide for heavy war shafts.

If you send Nick, bigbowbrum, a message on youtube with your email address in it, he will email you a pattern that prints off to size.

Just wondering if anyone may have the arrow spacer template by BigBowBrum from YouTube?  I have not been able to reach him in order to request the template.
