New Quiver

[Keith361]

Well I just finished building my new quiver thanks to Rob's plan in the How to section.

It's pretty stiff, 9/10 oz leather, so I need to get it softened up a little bit. Can't believe how well this quiver came out of such an easy design.
It's exactly what I was looking for in a quiver, rugged, sturdy, and not flashy.

Was going to put a  nother coat of the stain on it to try to even the color out, but the more I look at it the more I like it just the way it is. The only thing I think I might have to change is to put some type of fur around the mouth to keep the arrows from rattling.

What do you guys think?

Looks Real Good! Take it Out in the Grass, unless its Muddy, and runover it, back & Forth! That will take some of the  "Stiff" out of it!    Just my 2 Cents!!

Looks great, I like the stain as is gives it a bit of aged look.

If you decide to give it a coat or two of Montana Pitch Blend for waterproofing and protection, it would soften up a good deal and look considerably darker.  Makes a nice finishing touch for a noce project like that...

Nice! I like it! Well done!

That's a wonderful quiver!    Good job outta you!  If you coat the quiver in Sno Seal (its a wax based waterproofer) or mink oil you will find this will help soften the leather.  Kinda like when we were kids and broke in our baseball gloves.

Good Job!

Nice.  Neatsfoot oil works real well for softning leather.

[Keith361]

Thanks for the kind words guys. I think I'm going to try the montana pitch, if I can find some.

Never done anything like this before so now I just have to figure out how to put some fur around the mouth.
Does it make a difference on what type of fur I use? Also where would I be able to get my hands on some.

Thanks,
Keith
