For years I looked at the pictures of Cedar Ridge quivers in Traditional Bowhunter. I have some nice bows and always wanted a nice quiver to go with them for the practice range and shoots.
I am going to call Art probably this week to talk about ordering a back quiver and side quiver with belt. If anybody has pictures they can post of quivers that they had made by Art I would appreciate seeing them. Also I would like to hear what you have to say about them.
Thanks
Gil
My Two Arrows In My Quiver made by Art...I wear the Belt nearly everyday and this is a really nice side quiver for shooting in your back yard,stumping and at the 3D range...I just need Art to add 1 more arrow sometime next year... :D

Keith thanks. Beautiful. Looks like you will have to get two more for those beautiful daughters of yours in a few years.
Gil
I have a side quiver and belt from Art. Wear it almost everyday.
Very nice indeed!
Gil,
I will need to get 3 made cause we are in the process of adopting one more and that pretty much sums up the reason I'll need another arrow added to my quiver...Art said He may need to make a new pocket and carve it in there cause it has something to do with the leather stain blending in...Those two arrows mean so much to me and if you really look hard on those two carved arrows you will see two ladybugs crawling on them...Some people know what those ladybugs sybolize and some haven't a clue...I like to hear what folks think they stand for...I will leave ya hanging on that thought so you can have some homework to do :jumper:
I have a back quiver and side quiver, both works of art(as it were!), very well made and highly functional. I totally recommend them. I love the back quiver with my Mowhawk LB.
Here's the one I got for christmas from my fiance.

Art is a true artist, he makes all of my leather products.. :thumbsup:
ditto
I'm pleased as punch with my Powderhorn Stalker side quiver from Art.
The last time I saw Art in May he had suffered a severe injury to his hand and thumb preventing him from working leather. Does anyone know if he is back working?
I was just looking at his web site this morning and he has a note there saying that he IS now taking orders.
Planning on 1 in the spring,,, Hey Ron how come you never return e-mails 8^)
Art is a top-notch leathersmith and nice guy. I worked with him on modifying his stalker quiver, adding a few extra features that I wanted. It turned out to be my all-around favorite quiver.
The only thing I have of Art's is a pocket quiver. The workmanship is outstanding.
Howdy Guys, thanks for the comments. Yes, Thank God I am back working...Sure had a dry spell. But, I have the best customers in the world and all were patient and let me get my wits back about me and do the work. Sure needed it.
My wife got tired hunting for our food there for awhile...she was down to kicking the hell out of field mice. But, they're Tasty little buggers if you use enough Ketchup.
I used my down time to sketch a couple of new designs for quivers. I hope to introduce them at Kalamazoo in January.
Again Thanks everyone....
Shoot straight and stay strong
Godspeed
Art
Glad you you are back!!!
Art,
Get well soon and Ketchup ruins the natural flavor! Just eat them little buggers straight off the "Judo point"......Rare! :goldtooth:
God Bless,
Keefers<><
keefer,, I tried to..love em rare, but it's a thing with my wife...she's really domestic. Tells me she'll hand the food prep. No judo point necessary with her..she "rocks em".
Art shipped out an armguard this morning that I had built for a Christmas gift for my oldest son. I'm really looking forward to visiting the mail box the next couple days.
Art - thanks for keeping me posted every step along the way. From what I've already seen here on this forum, I'm seriously thinking of send a couple more orders your way soon.
Al
Art, glad you're back in the saddle so to speak.

Art,
"She rocks them"! That reminds me of Old Jerry Clower's story about a boy who hunted Squirrels and used Rocks to knock em out of trees and his Daddy stopped him cause he tore em up too much...You ever heard Jerry's hunting storys Art? If not you need to listen to them especially the coon hunting and taking this rich fella hunting on his uncles land where he had to shoot Della the mule... :laughing:
God Bless,
Keefers
My recently-crafted A. Vincent "Powderhorn"
side-quiver. A proud (http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n578/achilles112/IMGP0073.jpg)possession, indeed!
I have one of Art's "hunter" back quivers and a side stalker since 2006. Great products. Art is happy to make you happy.
My wife got me a Powderhorn side quiver for Christmas. What a treasure! Everyone should have one of these. Very good value considering it will last several life times and still look good.
Dave
By the way, the ladybug is a emblem of love and a symbol of protection.. Beautiful leather work, just awesome. We just gave an armguard to a friend that just turned 80 years young yesterday, and it was simply gorgeous.
Gents,
I will be getting my camera out today and posting pictures of my Art Vincent treasures.
He is a gifted artist.
Matt
I've got an armguard and a knife sheath by Art. Tough to beat his quality for the price. A real gentleman with superb customer service. :thumbsup:
Here's some of Art's fine work I have the privilege of owning.

I really didn't know how I was going to adjust to a back quiver but this is awesome. I have always heard of guys having problems with arrows falling out when they bent over to pick something up. I tried to get'em to shake out when I first got it and they ain't going no where. Awesome quiver for sure

Keefer,
Beautiful quiver and beautiful daughters. My wife and I have two girls from Hunan Province.
That is awesome about the ladybugs. I never thought about that. I have a quiver on order from Art and I'm going to call him to see if it's not too late to add them.
Bill
Bill,
Thanks and I know Art can do it if he hasn't already stained it....I'll be sending mine back so he could re do my pocket and add another arrow...Stringstretcher You did your homework... :thumbsup:
Gents,
Here is what Art had made for me.....
Stalker Quiver
Matching Armguard

Matt,
I liked my belt so much I wear it always except for work cause I don't want to mess it up...Where did you find your Buckle cause I'm searching for something traditional for mine?....
Keith,
I won that buckle at the Texas Traditional 3-D Shoot.
Thank God they "Buckled" all the way to 50th place!
Matt
I wish someone would come up with a bow quiver what has a knife and fire steel built in.

Art makes those! PM or email him.
My Stalker Quiver has a 3D card holder, pencil holder and an Allen Wrech slot. Just if I want to use it for 3D. Pretty cool.

Art will pretty well design anything you want within reason. Give him a call or e-mail. He is easy to work with; just be sure to give him enough time to get it done. He is a one man operation. :thumbsup:
Going to give him a call this week. Thanks guys! :thumbsup:
Rob
Art is the best

Awesome beautiful product!
I've made some unusual stuff over the years. I've been stumped a few times.
Thanks everyone. I appreciate it.
Art
Art,
The bikini...was it 'hair-on'?
How much did you charge for the set Art? And how long of a turnaround time are we talking?

:saywhat:
I've been using mine for about 10 years. Never a problem Dick
Art does great work! No doubt
Matt
Well, leave it to say, I've delt with interesting people and had the opportunity to custom build some unusual things.
Thanks for all the interest and good will
Art
I can definitely testify to Art's talent with his leather. I own several pieces of his work.
I have several more pieces in development!
:thumbsup:
Not only is he talented but just a good guy, He stopped at the house with Adkmountainken and I gave him the 50 cent tour of the area by the Mohawk river.When he left he went to his truck and gave Ken and I both leather pocket quivers. I was really speechless!
It will be very cool when he figures out how to make sheaths for my Hawk, Karambit, and neck knife.

A pic of Art's "hunter" model made for me about seven years ago:
