Maybe a few can come together and add /do different work on a quiver.

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.

"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.

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.

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

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.

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.
