Title: New Leather Side Quiver
Post by: 4est trekker on December 31, 2010, 01:02:00 PM
Hey, all.  I just finished up this side quiver from burgundy latigo.  The leather is finished with buffed beeswax and shows some range marks.  It is lined with sheepskin at the top and in the arrow bed.  I attached a tassel for cleaning arrow shafts while target shooting.  It easily holds twelve arrows with target points, six with broadheads.  The strap is adjustable.  Thanks for looking, and critique is always welcomed   :)

That is fantastic! The only thing I can see that is wrong with it is it's not left handed. Lol. I really like the open design at the top. Seems really roomy. Nice job!

Keeping the Faith!

Really nice, when you say beeswax, is that a paste wax? The beeswax I know is hard like a candle.
I've used Neets Foot Oil on my quivers, but I don't like how it gets dirty looking.
Can you tell me the brand of wax, or technique you use.

Curt,
Great looking quiver!  Something I have never tried but always wanted to do. Well made for sure!

I am curious about the white pom-pom.  Is there a purpose for it?  

I have read of stalkers who will wear a piece of white cloth that will simulate the contented deer's tail-switching as they feed.

nice workmanship. how do you keep the broad heads secure so that they are not bumping and dulling each other?

Only one thing wrong with it, IT'S NOT MINE! No, seriously, looks like a great quiver, nothing I would change.
