Title: New Quiver from Leathersmith
Post by: Swamp Yankee on December 04, 2011, 08:03:00 PM
Recieved my new Sidekick quiver from the Leathersmith a few weeks ago.  Steve is a real artist when it comes to working with leather.  Just thought I'd share.

Between the leather and hand made knives on this site, it is enough to drive a man crazy.  That quiver is really nice.  Thanks for sharing.

All his work is perfect. I have a back quiver he made.  It is one of my most prized archery gear.

I have one of his deluxe back quivers and one just like yours without the basket weave and tooling .They are true works of art and are real comfortable to boot.

I have the same quiver w/o the tooling work. We just spent a few hours in the desert this afternoon.  Isn't it great to have craftsman like Steven to enhance our enjoyment.
Heirloom stuff for sure.

That is great work! The maker is truly talented.   Is he a fellow tradganger or does he support the site and have his own website you'd be allowed to post?

When you read something like that from a leather master like Scott, there is no higher praise!

An heirloom. Looks like it could serve many generations of archers in the family.  To say that it is nice would be a gross understatement. I like it!

I just went to his site and looked at the quivers. It seem that yours has some machine sewing in places rather than laceing.  Ireally like that as it looks more custom.  Is that right?  Also the tooling I guess you just add that as an option. So does he have certain designs or did you tell him exactly what you wanted?

I purchased one of Raptor Archery Side Quivers when they first come out several years ago and I really like it.

As mine is very comportable to carry as it is soft and seems to comform to my boby. I was wondering how yous feels as it seems to be very stiff.

One added note I really like the way that the top sticks over the feathers to protect them from the elements on yours.

If you look at the "new and improved" version of the Sidekick the stitching is the same.  Nothing custom about it except for the generic (not copyrighted) celtic chain and trinity knot designs I provided to him.
