This is where I am forced to stop for a few days, my wife took the digital camera on a weekend trip. Will continue with the shoulder strap come Monday or Tuesday.
Hope this inspires some of you to give it a try! This is only my third quiver!
Here is a picture of the first two I made. One for me, one for my daughter. The one I am making now will be a Christmas gift for my brother!
