About 9 months ago I started to think about making myself a new back quiver. Didn't really need one, just thought it would be a nice little project during the dark, and extremely cold Winter's nights.
I purchased some 10 oz leather from my local Tandy store, and started to think about what I wanted to make.
I remember I had an article from an old Instinctive Archer, about the making of a quiver similar to that worm by Errol Flynn in The Adventures of Robin Hood.
So that's what I started planning. I wanted to do something a little different so I started playing around with an old letterhead I had, a magazine photograph, and pictures of my bow limbs. I think I can say I'm happy with how it finally turned out.

Before I started this project, permission was sought from, and granted by, Mr John Schulz.
That's an absolute beauty mate. Well done.

As impressed as I am with your quiver, even more so with those arrows!
:clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
Well done sir!
Beautiful quiver.
By the way, that's an impressive stable of Schulz bows you have too. I always wanted one of his string follow 'Naturals'. (However I couldn't pay the asking price of his recent Parting Shot line).
Are the sides of the quiver rounded or flat? It looks great.
Way cool!
Too well done...I would be afraid to get that piece of art dirty
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Job well done. :clapper:
Realy nice!
Well done sir, well done!
Great job!
Bisch

"Paul,

Not sure how you did the transfer, but it looks FANTASTIC!
+1 to your arrows too. :thumbsup:
