I had a rainy Sunday and decided I'd make an attempt at a river cane quiver. I figured I'd need a trad quiver once I've put together some trad arrows. Thought I'd share the results...

It will get much lighter as it dries out. I thought I'd kinda add stuff from different hunts as I go along. Turkey beards, antler buttons, and so on. I bad need to arrow a fox or rabbit to make a fur collar for the top. Hope you enjoy.
You did a nice job on your quiver. Did you split out the canesr use them whole?
You may have to add more weavers as the cane dries because it will shrink.
Great job, I like stuff like that.
that is awesome :clapper: well done
I appreciate the thanks! Yes the ribs are halves and the weavers are quarters. I have some extra drying in case the shrinkage is a problem. I enjoyed it... Sure I'll do some more.
That's very nice!!!
That's a sweet looking quiver!
:thumbsup:
Nice
What Pat B said. It will shrink as it dries. I made a couple about 10-12 years ago. They were woven tight but later on there was space between the wales (or weavers). I show them at youth programs and still get a lot of good comments. Looks like you made good use of a bad day Fat Clyde. :clapper:
good job :clapper:
Very Nice!
I'd say it turned out pretty awesome, liking the green.
Well I have gotten some shrinkage from the cane. Its about an inch shorter but the wraps have stayed nice and tight. I really like the green as well but its much lighter already. I'm very impressed at how sturdy it is. Wasn't sure this was going to be function or decoration but I'm really thinking it going to function quite well.
Sorry bout the late reply. I can no longer post from my Ipad with a data connection.
Very cool!
Look on Flea bay for a "Mink Stole" or Fox Stole. Not as memorable but no telling how long I'd have to wait.
Nice job!
That is a real work of art. Where did you get instructions or how did you learn to do that?
Good job.
That looks great. I started on but didn't finish it. Did you use rawhide at the bottom of the cane?
Nice job! Looks good!
No I didn't have any rawhide I used leather lace that I had for saddle repairs. I plan to replace it with brain tanned buckskin. Just need to arrow myself a deer. Used some old saddle leather fro a strap. I set it up to hang about belt high off my right side. It feels good there. I can also wear it as a back quiver. It's not nearly finished. I hope... I plan to add stuff to it from different hunts. I'm currently looking to arrow a rabbit or coon. Plan to use the pelt to make a collar around the top. Turkey seasons coming up so maybe a turkey beard or two. Kinda want it to tell a story and add to it as I go along. I'm still without arrows but I got an order in with kootenia river for a test kit. I've had so many positive responses on it! Very surprised that anyone else would give it a second look. Thanks!
