Maybe I'm simply not looking in the right spot,  but it seems there's hardly anybody if anyone at all,  is producing a high quality HH style quiver for sale these days...... is this indeed the case?  I wouldn't think it so but I'm finding very little in my searching so far.  I'm talking a legit to spec high quality deal made by a master of leather or at least top tier at making these quivers...... heirloom quality craftsmanship you can pass down....... 

I've kind of noticed the same thing. Seems like everyone is going to bow mounted quivers now so probably less demand for Hill Style back quivers.

Nate Steen of Sunset Hill is your guy.  Absolutely heirloom quality and custom built for you. Love mine.

Here's a picture from Nate's blog of what quivers look like. 

Ray,  is Nate still in the business of making these?  I did notice his video about the quiver and some posts on his blog,  but didn't see a way to make contact to inquire about an order ......

I will do that,  Thank You sir!

What Ray said.
Almost everything about a Nate Steen quiver is custom made for the user.

Not at all difficult to make yer own back quiver, I've made near a dozen over many decades.  A quarter hide of 8-10oz leather and package of leather shoelaces is all it takes.

Certainly Rob's recommendation is also a viable route.
As a retired accountant by trade and someone who's dad thought duck tape was the best tool in the tool box, I fell to the bottom of the do-it-yourself dream pool. 

Very nice work Rob!  See for me the DIY route is always very appealing for many reasons...... but I often have found that what happens with me,  is I'll buy all the stuff to do the job including tools (can never have enough tools and who knows,  maybe you'll use that one again  ) and by the time I'm done,  it'd have been more cost effective to have the professional do it    Guess it comes down to how badly I want to be able to say "I DID THAT!" or not.  Most often that wins out on me and there have certainly been times I should have financially supported another craftsman's endeavors so to speak     By the way,  because of you Rob,  count me in as being on the fence now with this one   

Nate makes the best backquiver that I've seen in all my years.  True to the Hill style and everything is well thought out and uses the best leather for its purpose.  Being a tinkerer, I decided to make my own using Nate's as a guide.  Nate's is my go to quiver.  Mine is my backyard quiver.

Excellant Tutorial Rob! And great looking quiver.

Phil, what is the purpose for the two leather loops?

I might try to make some leather goods for my grandson, eventually.

Right now I am in the midst of learning how to make a Flemish twist string. I succeeded in making a jig. My first string was a learning experience- I'll say that.

I will add that the dimensions of length/width/depth are totally up to the builder.  One reason I got into making back quivers was that all of the commercial ones were too short of length, and the cost of a custom back quiver was ridiculous compared to the cost of DIY.

This one was for my youngest daughter, built many Many MANY moons ago ...

I have made a few to many over the years. This is my last one. For some reason the stitch rather than lacing caught my attention. The original ones like this I read were made by King Leather for Howard Hill archery? No, I didn't count the stitches. I did hand stitch it, not machine done.
