Title: I Made a Quiver
Post by: eminart on March 31, 2012, 07:46:00 PM
I had some time on my hands today and some leather I wasn't using, so I put both to good use. I'm waiting on my first longbow and I thought I'd like to have a back quiver to go with it. I don't know anything about back quivers, but I looked at a few photos and this is what I came up with. I'm fairly pleased, but I'm sure there's a lot of room for improvement, once I actually start using it. Also, my good camera was out in my truck and I was too lazy to go get it. These are lousy cell phone photos.

It's Tandy Leather leather. Haha. But, yeah I think it's probably what's called stirrup leather.

I'd say you done well without knowing anything about back quivers.  :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:

The strap does look like a stirrup leather.
Nice job too!

Very clean and professional work man! I dig it. I made one with decorative lacing on the strap similar to yours and those ridges created by the lacing became very irritating over a long day of shooting with only a T'shirt on...didn't consider it until I put it into practice...not an issue in colder weather with layers on though...or maybe I'm just too sensitive  :D   Good stuff!

I wondered about that while I was doing it. If it bothers me I'll cover the back with something.

And thanks!

That's a sweet quiver! Is that leather pliable at all?

A little, I guess, but it's pretty stiff. I put a dowel rod inside to keep it from bending to the shape of my back.
