I made this quiver and matching arm guard and donated them to the live auction at the 2016 United Bowhunters of Missouri Festival coming up February 5th-7th. Hopefully they will make the club a little money.

I had the quiver done last week but I needed a decent weather day in order to carve the deer antler fasteners for the strap. Momma insists that I do that activity outside so I needed the temperature to go up enough so that my hands wouldn't freeze.

The body of the quiver is made from 8 oz. bison leather, the trim is deer and the bling was done in carp skin leather. Everything was sewn by hand using artificial sinew.
 

Here is one with the matching arm guard.  
   

This is a closeup of one of the deer antler fasteners. There's not much to them but they take a while to carve.


Here's what the quiver looks like when your wearing it.    

For more information about the Festival, go over to the Trad Gatherings forum and look for the 2016 UBM Festival thread.

Nice Darren!
And thanks. I learned something today.
It's really simple. Just don't take those borderline shots. Tomorrow is another day.

It sings!

Beautiful, unique quiver.   :notworthy:

Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

Beautiful work!!
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.
