Went back and found some pics of a couple of quivers and armguards I made for charity auctions and gifts when I first started leather working… the TD quiver is completely basket stamped, and was the last quiver I made that was completely covered in tooling...

I hardly ever make myself a leather doodad, but I had some time between other projects so I whipped up this arm guard. The backing is vegetable tanned cowhide and the facing is pirarucu hide, a fish in South America. The arrowhead is carp hide, the trim is deer hide, and I carved the lace hooks out of deer antler. Everything was sewn up by hand using artificial sinew. I was happy with it. Darren

I finished this back quiver yesterday for my good friend, Joe Hollingshad, of Devil's Backbone Outfitters. I had made Joe a possibles bag and a knife sheath a while back and the last time I saw him, he asked me to make a quiver to match the other two items. Hopefully, he will be happy with this. Quiver details: The body and straps are made from bison hide. The black leather around the tracks is shark hide and the light colored leather is deer hide. The brown leather trim on the quiver and straps is caiman hide. The black trim is deer hide and I carved the strap buttons from deer antler. The whole shebang was sewn up by hand using artificial sinew. Darren

I finished this back quiver a couple of days ago. It will be my auction donation for the 2025 United Bowhunters of Missouri Festival (Feb 7th-9th). The body of this quiver is made from bison hide. The colored leather is ostrich leg skin and the black leather in the geometric designs is also bison. I trimmed everything in black deer hide and carved the strap buttons out of deer antler. I used approximately 7-8 artificial bison worth of artificial sinew to sew this project up by hand. I hope it makes the club a few dollars. Darren

I finished this side quiver last night. It will be an auction item at the upcoming induction ceremony at The Archery Hall of Fame & Museum in Springfield, MO. Hopefully, it will make a little money for the organization. I made it so that it can be worn around the neck by the straps or on a belt with the belt loop holder. Specs: The fawn colored leather is elk hide and the red, white, and blue leather is deer hide. The black leather on the thunderbird and ravens is bison and the rest of the black leather is deer hide. The hanger ring was carved from moose antler and the hanger buttons were carved from deer antler. I sewed everything up by hand using approximately …

I finished this back quiver and matching arm guard a couple of days ago. They will be donated to the live auction taking place at the United Bowhunters of Missouri Festival the weekend of February 9th-11th in Springfield, MO.

The black leather that the arrowheads are made from is stingray hide and the shiny yellow bands are ostrich leg skin. The straps and trim are made from deer hide and I carved the buttons and lace hooks from deer antler. I sewed everything up by hand using approximately 4 miles of artificial sinew. My fingers need a…

I finished these arm guards yesterday and will be donating them as raffle items at the United Bowhunters of Missouri Rendezvous coming up in a couple of weeks. Both of them have a vegetable tanned cowhide backing and the facing is made from the hide of a large freshwater fish in the Amazon River basin known as a pirarucu. The arrowheads are made from ostrich leg skin and the trim is deer hide. I carved the lace hooks from deer antler and sewed the tan one up by hand using artificial sinew. I sewed the blue/gray one up with artificial sinew and B-50 bowstring material. Hopefully, they will make a little money for the club. Darren

The old archery bug hit hard, I'm going hunting this fall. My old quiver needed replaced so here it is. All veg tan of various weights. Bison brown mottled on and a bit of that antiquing. I tried a little free hand work with the tooling and also some lacing. The basket lacing is mostly Mexican round braid someday i'll fix it. NOT LOL!! Arm guard is next. Its not my best work, i wanted to do some practice on my tooling and this where i do it, on my own stuff. I used the aluminum from the old quiver as the frame for my new one.

I finished this arm guard yesterday for the feller who got me into bowhunting. He and I are headed to Mexico next month to chase Gould's turkeys with our recurves and I thought he needed to be dressed appropriately. I actually don't remember if he uses an arm guard or not so, if he doesn't, I guess he has a nice leather coaster to set his coffee on. This arm guard has a vegetable-tanned cowhide backing and a facing of leather that comes from a pirarucu, or arapaima. That's a giant fish that is native to the Amazon River basin. The tan trim is deer hide and the black leather is carp hide. I carved the lace hooks from deer antler and sewed everything up by hand using a…

I finished this archery arm guard Sunday for a friend of mine. It has a cowhide backing and the facing is cape buffalo. The hoof print and trim are deer hide. I carved the lace hooks out of deer antler and sewed everything up by hand using artificial sinew. I had purchased that tan deer hide about 4 years ago and was holding it back for just the right project. I think it worked really well with this one! Darren
