Thinking about a large back quiver for chasing bunnies....my rabbit arrows are a mish mash of different diameters, so my beloved GFA won't work (the gripper).
Show me your quivers!

Craig Ekin , Howard Hill
and maybe, as I wear it as a back quiver, the best option of all ? Holds a bunch of arrows too , just the ticket for bunnies !

Great thread! Im getting some really good ideas for my next project.
Made this one last year. Followed the quiver in the how to section. Wish I would have used a thinner leather, but works great. Also made a matching quiver for my son.

Here's one I made several years ago. I still use it quite a bit. I wish I would have used a bit softer leather. Well, maybe next time.
Actually, the bow and arrows are home made as well. That was my first bow. Also many years ago.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v290/Hatrick/HomeMadeEquipment.jpg)
There is no way I can reach back over my shoulder to pull or worse, (too old and stiff) put back arrows...so I got into this "open design".

Larry Surtees not only made this one, but made it for his son. When Chris died, Larry gave it to me and this was the result of the 1st time I hunted with it.....don't get any better folks.....

Here's another one of mine....just had to have this one....American Leathers....with big bear tracks on the back.....
(http://www.tradgang.com/upload/terry/fulldrawbunny.jpg)
Terry, that's a great looking quiver that Larry Surtees made. And a mighty fine looking group of ringnecks you have there. Good shooting too. Boy do I miss chasing those rascals. We just don't have any around my way anymore.

Wow great quiv's guys. Keep em coming!
Here's mine..
(http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/hh640/Lebanesebowhunters/CentaurShooting19.jpg)
Here's my first attempt.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v612/30coupe/Archery%20Stuff/Quivers/Quiver1.jpg)
It is too soft but it got me started. I'm going to take it apart and resize it for my grandson.
Here is my latest and favorite. This one is from a Sunset Hill kit. It will outlast me! English bridle leather...heavy but flexible enough to conform to my back and keep the arrows quiet and where they belong.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v612/30coupe/Archery%20Stuff/Quivers/IMG_3178.jpg)
It's a bit darker colored now since I treated it with Montana Pitch Blend. The picture was taken right after I finished it.
Oklahomaleatherman-digging the BCO PATCH BROTHA! I am going to tandy some time in the near future for my next project!
Not to hijack the thread, but what weight of leather make a good back quiver if I was to make my own? I use a Safarituff to hunt but would like one of these for roaming and stumping.
My 2 homemade quivers-a Hill style and a St. Charles.

First attempt. Used veg-tanned leather, finally getting broken in and softening up a little. Love it though. Made several prototypes out paper to get the strap and everything right so it would hang just where I wanted it.
Here it is in action, although note I was short-drawing a wood bow destined for someone else before you comment on how much arrow is hanging off the shelf.... ;)
(http://images.imagelinky.com/1355104403.JPG)
Here's mine. It's large and made of two layers of buffalo hide, one with hair on. There is also a winter ermine (weasel family of critter) and natural turkey feathers on it. I like it well enough.

http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee146/gdpolk/Traditional%20Projects/IMG_3130.jpg
I'd like to eventually get Scott at Wyoming Wildlife Artistry to make me a back/side combo quiver similar to this one with divisions to separate out two kinds of arrows sometime though. When I do that, I'll be selling my buffalo quiver.
(http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee146/gdpolk/Archerysmallside-quiverbowanddirk.jpg)
Heres mine. Just two hides sewn together.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v683/timkoi/arrow2133-1.jpg)
I would only recommend using veg-tanned leather if you are going to do some tooling on it. Otherwise I like to use chrome tanned leather like a good oil tanned or even latigo (which is tanned as a veg first then retanned as a chrome).
Veg-tanned leather works well and gives you the option of tooling it, but will be stiffer and take longer to break in. Chrome tanned leather is, for the most part, softer and gives that broken in feel right away, but you can not tool it.
Latigo, being a veg and chrome tan will give you the best of both of the above mentioned leathers. Latigo takes a stamp good good and is stiffer than a oil tanned leather but softer than a veg-only tanned leather.
I'm a big fan of using what you have and any of these leathers as well as hair-on hides works well for quivers.

Spot and stalked a bear about twenty years back that was a little too rubbed on the sides so I ended up with three quivers like this one. My wife call it "Cousin It". Hard to tell, but the shoulder strap is one of the legs with the paw still on it.
dang, can't get the hang of posting..., well got it posted but too big.

Just wanted to bring this one back up. I've gotten this one broken in real well and it has been my go-to back quiver for a few outings now. I just applied some weatherproofing and it's getting a nice dark tone to it. 6/7oz veg tanned leather. It's softening up very nicely.

Thought I'd show my new back quiver, made by a local leather guy, Alamo Custom Leather. He did a great job. I wanted one to hold a few items, just in case it's ever needed. Turned out great. Love the latigo leather.

Thanks Wannabe1. It also folds nicely in the middle to keep the arrows completely still. I can bend over to pick up things, and the arrows do not move.
Also, the pics barely show but the front strap holds my hunting knife. You can see the handle sticking up.
What is the design on the top of the quiver? It looks like a sun symbol. I like it!
It is a sun symbol with a cross stamped in the center.

Nice looking leather, and leather combination Bud. :thumbsup:
Thanks Rob. The piece for the body and strap was a leftover piece at the local leather shop. It's very thick but soft and extremely pliable. The base piece was extra thick and stiff wax coated oil finished from the scrap box of the store. The scrap box also produced the thin brown trim piece around the top. I gotta quit making so many quivers. :help:
But, seeing a piece at the shop and envisioning it as a quiver drives me to make just one more.
Bud,
That's another fine quiver! That's a heck of a score on a heavy soft piece of leather. Somebody somewhere should set aside the great pieces of leather like that one for guys with your talent :thumbsup:
Bud, your gettin real handy with the leather!
Nice work :thumbsup:
Eric
Nice quivers guys. :thumbsup:
