Hill style quiver

mooshkat · December 30, 2012, 07:50:00 PM

Was thinking of making one, but was wondering what leather to use, i have made a few before but are too stiff, i want one of softer leather that will conform to my back as HH did. I have read where someone from Sunset Hill may have a kit but dont have any contact info. Any info as in leather size and weight, and what type of leather, there seems to be many options. Thanks Dave

Here is a little something to get you started:

This is the one I plan to make in January. My local Tandy had 6-7 oz shoulders on sale for 19$ through tomorrow.

I made one of these, but the leather was too soft. I ended up reworking it as a quiver for my grandson. I got a kit from Sunset Hill (Nate Steen). I love it! It will last several lifetimes. Here is a picture of my quiver right after assembly.

It is a little darker around the top now since I treated it with Montana Pitch Blend. Just do a search and type Sunset Hill in the member name box, then shoot him a PM.

I tried that, says search came up with no matches.

Nice looking quiver! On the first one you made, do you recall what weight leather you used? I've heard of success with 5-6, but some floppy failures using less than that.
