i'd like to ask for a volunteer...i/we need a quiver made to go with the arrows and evo bow that will be auctioned off in the st,jude auction this year.i/we need a volunteer for this job.if i was a leather worker/craftsman i'd do it no problem but i'm not so someone needs to step up to the plate here...cannot tell you how many times i have seen some real nice work done by several people on here :D .....GITRRRRR DUNNNNNN :D
X2 don't hesitate, giving without expectations will come back to you.It's Karma!! and it's for the children!!! :campfire:
Maybe a few can come together and add /do different work on a quiver.
Lets go guys we have all the arrows donated and no quiver. :campfire:
Well if I can find the time and material I would like to do this.
How soon does this need to be done?
but it will be a few weeks before I can get over to get supplies.
What kind of quiver do you want and when would it need to be done. I could make a hip quiver and I already have leather. I havn't made a back or side quiver so if that's what you're looking for I will defer to someone that has more experience with those.

a back quiver would be cool ...maybe with some type of tradgang logo or tradgang st,jude ..etcetc....needs to be here to me by the time the auction starts so i can post pics or you can pm lpcjon2 up above me there a few spots /|\\ you could ship it to him since he will have the arrows......whoever wants to do this i will be in your debt....thanks....larry

sorry....lets try for a back quiver first but if cannot then a hip quiver will work just fine also...thanks....larry
"Someone needs to step up to the plate here"....
Just an observation....
You'd probably get a better response if you "asked" instead of demanded a volunteer.
PLEASE!!!!!! can someone donate a quiver.Guru is right,So Im asking.Please
dont make me get killdeer... :readit: :readit:
wow.never even realized that i hadn't asked guru...good observation.bad manners on my part.sorry folks
I'm not a leather worker or craftsman, but I have made two quivers in the last 20 years (the one that I've carried for 20 years and one I made for a buddy of mine on his 60th birthday). They're nothing fancy, but I make them to last. I don't know how to tool the leather, so artwork by me would be out of the question.
Here's what they look like (this is the one I made for my buddy):

I carve the buttons from bubinga and all of the seams are double sticked with leather lacing.
Is the auction in May? If so, that should give me plenty of time to get it done as these take a long time to make (lots of holes to punch).
I don't have any leather to make another one so I'll have to track down a piece unless someone has a piece about 36" X 36" of 3-4 oz that they want to donate to the cause.
If this isn't what you are looking for or you want to wait and see if someone else steps up, just let me know you won't hurt my feelings.
Brian
looks good to me bctgrad...if you want to go for it man...thats a nice quiver bro.
bctgrad,
That has to be one of the best looking quivers I've ever seen. You might not be a quantity quiver builder but you've got that quality thing down pat.
How very cool is that quiver? Way!!!!!!!!
Thanks for stepping up! You can be proud!! I know the children will be grateful.
God bless,Mudd

Thanks guys, I'd be honored to be a part of this auction. Can't wait to get started.
Is the auction in May?
you do great work bctgrad,looks very well made and it will last for a long long time...thanks again buddy.i think we can start posting things here before to long but i think it's in may.i'll look.
Nice of bctgrad to step up. He makes a nice looking quiver. bctgrad. Let me know if you run into a hang up on your end.
I can put together a nice quiver in a couple of evenings after work. I have a couple of nice quivers I already made up and plan to make a few more for practice. I to am not a leather crafter so no fancy work on the leather or stamping. They do come with a nice fur fringe and a pocket for extra strings, etc...
Hey Elkherder who do we talk to to make sure our posts end up on the St Judes auction. I am donating a custom tomahawk and sheath to the auction this year.
i made this hip quiver its going to be in the st. jude raffle tomorrow at our michigan bunny stomp.

That's a nice quiver Chad. Did you use a woodburner?
Thats cool!
hey stumpsniper i did use a wood burner.lpcjon2 thanks for the arrow bud!
Beautiful quiver. I'm sitting on 3 full hides,
Deer, Elk, and Buffalo. Wish I had your talent.
I have made a pair of moccasins out of the Buff hide, and now wished I'd sent the pattern to you.
