There where a few post about arrow storage lateley and what started out as a simple project turned into a build along. My Bride was sitting there with the camera so figured, Why not?
Ok here we go.
I took a piece of 6" pvc pipe and cut it to 23.5" I was just going to paint it but thought while I was organizing some arrows I might as well use some of my leather scraps up as well. You could probably use the fake stuff from a fabric store and get good results
I laid my pipe on my leather and wrapped it to find where it needed cut and cut it with a litle overlap and put a little barge cement on it. I sanded the pipe with 100 grit to get good adhesion. I only glued the seams on this whole project.

Next I cut me a piece around 12" or 13" for the top and wrapped it on the tube.

Next I worked on stuffing it into the tube to give it that Quiver look

Next I went around and punched holes for the lacing 1" apart (I reccomend you do this first LOL)

Here is a shot of the bottom trim being laced. I would do this part on both top and bottom before installing on tube. The bottom piece of trim is about 3" or 4".

Next I put on a decoritive arrowhead I cut from leather

Next I traced and cut a piece of wood for the bottom to fit inside the tube. After I cut it and sanded a little I fitted it and drilled 4 holes so it could be screwed in with 1" drywall screws

After I had the bottom screwed in I put the bottom trim piece on. Just tuck the pieces of lacing under your trim to hide it.

Very nice. Well done build along.
After I put it all together I added a few feathers for decoration on a piece of lacing I left hanging about 6" out of the front of the top trim. I wrapped them on with artificial sinew and now I got a corner quiver.

The wife will like this better than arrows sitting in every corner but who am I kidding there will still be arrows in every corner. LOL
Hope you guys like it, I know my Wife does.
Very cool! :thumbsup:
Oh yeah I forgot to mention that I cleaned the exposed barge cement off with Desolvit.
I need to make me one like that, thanx for the info.
I like that!
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Nice idea, good jub!
up top for the morning crowd
SnS - Very nice, very handsome! If I do something like that, my missus is going to want a new kitchen :D
Hmmmmmm.....mebbe a chap could do your PVC concept with a nice section of birch bark from an old tree?
That's awesome! I've been thinking about doing exactly what you have just done for some time now, Thanks for the info!
Where do you get Desolvit? I've had some issues with exposed barge cement myself.... Thanks and great build a long :)

Jeremy you can desolvit at home depot or lowes.
Old York. The birch bark idea is a good one I bet it would work. As far as redoing the kitchen.... maybe if it has an indoor shooting range LOL
Wow! That turned out sweet! Great idea putting the stitching on the trim piece first.
Thanks for sharing that!
