Title: Who makes custom quivers?
Post by: Red Boar on March 14, 2008, 08:42:00 PM
Hello...who in tradgang (member or sponsor) makes custom quivers?  Looking for something primarily to display (also will see some hunting time, so it has to be able to hold broadheads) that is side/back model with traditional skins and maybe a fur lined top or something entirely made of a fur/hide. Want something nice.  Thanks!    ;)

There are several people out there that make very nice quivers, but I don't think you will ever beat the work of Art Vincent.
Good luck.

Mike's Archery is a sponsor and he has donated a lot of arm guards to guys in the past   :thumbsup:  .  His prices are reasonable and he has made many friends here.

Great...I shot him an email.  I like the pic from the previous post.  Hopefully he can add a fur lined top and I'm set.    ;)

Another vote for Mike. Here's a pic of the quiver he made for me recently.

Look up The Leathersmith. You'll be blown away.   http://www.hidehandler.com/   is the URL and I can't remember how I found him, perhaps via 3Rivers then Googled him up. I favor the Classic Quiver. Not cheap but it'll be there a lifetime.

Wow...thought I had my mind made up before I saw these.  Might have to get a second job to afford one.    ;)    Real works of art!

Why not make one yourself? Leather is cheap, You can buy fur at most trad shoots. A little time and imagination goes a long way.

I may indeed do that some day....check out the link for the Leathersmith up above and you can see why I was excited about placing an order.  I am getting a Diamondback in a slightly smaller size.

Just thought I'd add to this.  In anticipation of buying a piece of leather from Tandy, I went to the Goodwill and picked up some leather boots.  It was a lot of work to get them cut apart for crafting but I am anxious to see what the final product will look like.

Leo,
Try  www.siegelofca.com. (http://www.siegelofca.com.)  I just received some nice leather for arm guards and quivers. They have good service and you can't beat the prices.
