Title: Finally finished my Elm Bark quiver
Post by: Izzy on May 04, 2010, 03:26:00 PM
Been working on this a while along with another one thats yet to be completed.This one will hold 5 MFX carbons easily or about 4 cedars.Very, very light carrying.My next is a bit wider it will hold 6 or 7 arrows easily.   (http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o244/2crazyboys_photos/DSCN1393.jpg)  (http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o244/2crazyboys_photos/DSCN1394.jpg) (http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o244/2crazyboys_photos/DSCN1395.jpg)

Nice work man!!  And like adk said, how did you do the seams???

Ken, for the seam I let it dry around a wooden ball bat and it curled into itself.When it dried I did some trimming until the ends were pushing against each other squarely.It hasnt curled anymore since then. At this point it's not sealed for the entire length.The rawhide cap and band should hold it together pretty well.The next one is gonna have rawhide bindings along the entire length, I got a rawhide dog bone soaking in a pot right now.

Very cool Izzy, I always liked peices of bark in basket quivers. You took it one further with the whole bark thing. Nice!    :thumbsup:
