Title: A few new quivers
Post by: Jeremy on January 23, 2009, 04:16:00 PM
Those of you who have been around here long enough might remember I used to do a fair bit of leather work before I got started making knives.  You'll also recognize who I draw my inspiration and style from.

The last of a light tan heavy nubuck leather:

And two out of elk:
This one is going to get a couple pouches added on before heading to it's new home:

All quiver bottoms are reinforced for broadheads and the mouths and bottoms are lined with bark-tanned shearling.  The bottom three inches of the quiver bodies are reinforced as well.

Ken, I think you'll get a kick out of the possibles bag (classic Eastern style hunting pouch, not Mountain Man) I'm trying to start this weekend.  Though looking at how much handsewing is going into that, I'll never complain about the price of my wife's purse again! LOL

TW, the third one is bar far my favorite type of plains-style quiver for hunting.  It was going to make it's way over the Sponsor's Classifieds section when I had the chance to post...

Ken, I'm still in awe of Barb's work.  I do my best trying to make a nice quiver, but her stuff is something else.

I fell a bit behind in projects the last two weeks (sick kid/wife, too much snow shoveling, too much work, etc) and don't know if I'll get the bag finished by the Bunny Hunt.  The plan was a divided main pouch with flat-stitched pouch on the back, another pouch on the front (covered by the main flap) and a few game keepers on the flap.  I got as far as cutting the pieces out.  I may change my mind... not sure I'm up to that much hand stitching! LOL

Great quivers. I wish more people would show the inside of the top of the quiver. When I was thinking about buying a back quiver, I always wanted to see what the inside of the top of the quiver looked like. Thanks for showing it.
