Title: Working on the Chris Surtees Quiver
Post by: highnoonhunter on February 26, 2011, 11:51:00 PM
I'm working on the Chris Surtees quiver that was auctioned after Chris' passing. The winner (Allan) asked that the quiver be donated to Larry.

It's oiled cowhide with black bison overlays, and laced with black goatskin lace.

It's also the first one I've made with the bottom laced in.

I still need to add two more brass d-rings to the shoulders of the broadhead cup:

And a large brass d-ring to the top when it comes... (somebody forgot to re-order supplies):

Monday I'll glue up the spine out of the nice osage lams that Kenny donated and they'll have Texas Ebony tips. And I'll also make a matching woven strap next week,

More updates to come!

God Bless!

Pastor Bobby,
That is some fine leather work. What a fine gesture by Alan. Chris was a really special man and his Dad is a treasured friend. Thank you for the extra effort on your part.
God's Peace,
Jed

Well, I finally finished it up. The photos ain't so good, it actually looks better then the photo's.

I hope Larry is pleased with it, and that it honors Chris:

The strap has a few strands of yellow to match the osage spine:

Bobby another work of art. I got your quiver two years ago on the auction and I can't tell you how many great compliments I get on it. One this special should do well.

Thanks everyone..... I also wanted to send out a big ol' THANKS to Kenny for donating the beautiful Osage..... it was some really nice osage and if all his laminations are that nice ya'll bowyers ought to be well pleased!

Bobby,

I have been out of the country and just saw the incredible job you did on the quiver. Many thanks for doing such great work and making it as nice as we talked about. As planned, I think it will go very well with the Shrew bow that was donated to Larry, which will make both of the items more special. You have created a fitting memorial to a wonderful person who unfortunately is now with us only in spirit. Chris would be extremely happy with what you have made to honor him.

Now, I need to buy one of those quivers for myself!

Allan
