Tanned Deer hide back quiver???

[Hoffman]

Hey,

I have a tanned buck hide. Does anybody know how to make a back quiver with that type of material? I think it will have to be a tube design or something like that. Please, any information is welcomed.

I forget which forum but someone just posted a thread on that.

He used Borax to dry the skin. I think if you do a search on the word, it'll probably bring it up.

You can use a liner tube in a cowhide split or a firm temper leather economy split that is at least 4 oz. and adhere to the deerskin backside after cutting the desired length and width.
This is for a tanned hide and was made for a friend, and made quite simple and fast.
For the part that lies against your back, you may want to leave all hair on or add a piece of suede to keep the hair from picking during warmer weather.

Good luck

Using an old existing quiver is a good idea as well and just cover it with the deer hide that you have. Make sure you rough up the smoothed leather surfaces to get good tack and adhesive ability....leather glue is my favorite to use for this type of project.
Also stitch flesh side outward toward the fur side so not to pull hair back through the hole, can be very trying on the nerves    

Back to beading for me.
