Title: yooper quiver

I've been wanting to try and make my own quiver for a while but I do not know how to sew, so I found some very thrifty fabric to practice on.

Total cost of the quiver was about $5.00

Hope this gives you guys a laugh!

I'm not laughing!  I am jealous, that is a cool looking quiver, nice work.  I have a little bit of wool and I might have to try and copy your idea.

That is too nice to be called a yooper quiver!  :laughing:  I expected maybe a road kill skin wrapped around a traffic cone, or the sleeve of a shirt tied at one end and a dragging rope used for a back sling.

Nothing wrong with that!  For very little money you now have a very useable quiver.

I kinda like it !

I want to come up and spend a weekend at my place up there but the last visit required three hours of plowing to get my boat out of the shed.

Very nice! And gives me a great idea.  I've got a Christian Dior wool overcoat that hasn't been worn in over 15 yrs.  I think with some simple mods it would make a great, quiet quiver.  Seems like it would work to turn a sleeve into the main quiver body.

Thanks for the inspiration!!!

Thank you everyone.

Chuck,
The material was at hobby lobby in flint and was $4.00 a yard.  

I bought two yards figuring I could try a few different projects.  I just wish I would have measured this so could repeat the process...

Say ya to da UP eh!

Nice quiver.

About the pasty suggestion: I don't know about putting a pasty in the bottom... might bring in bears. Of course, if you will be bear hunting.....

Nice job!

I often suggest people make a quiver out of an old pair of jeans or something similar when wanting to try out a new style (before the order a really nice one out a leather).

I'm aware of several surviving 'period' Native American quivers in museums and private collections that are made out of trade cloth or heavy wool, so you're in good company when carrying yours!   :)

Did you copy right that, or can any one steal your idea.

The UP sucks....


Only cause it's too far away.
I love it up there.
Spend a little time round big bay area when I can.

Not trying to be a downer but....

Just be careful if putting b-heads in there.
A slip or fall and you could find yourself pretty messed up.
