Hi all, I recently made myself a new pair of reins to use for themed photoshoots and last weekend a friend of mine visited to make some photo's of me and one of the horses with my handmade outfit. Now onto the task of making a matching bridle for this set! So happy how they...

Hi everybody, After having shown my arm guard in the show off section I have been requested the pattern by some of you. I did much more than a simple pattern scan, and from this link: you can download a complete *pdf document with everything needed but the cup of coffee. Enjoy! And th...

Archery arm guard with contemplative samurai scene and kanji for "heijoshin" (constant peace of mind) and "bushido" (way of the warrior). Airbrushed and handbrushed paint. Antique finish to accent lines. 8/9 oz veg-tan lined with black pigskin. Looks best flat, before laced with black ties and forme...

Here is my latest archery quiver. A special request for a Game of Thrones dire wolf. Design carved and tooled, then pained with Angelus leather paints. I had to antique this to get the definition on the design. I'm reasonably happy with the result and the owner is delighted.

Finished this beauty and had it delivered this last weekend. This was my fourth quiver, and the first Mongolian Horse Quiver I've made. This quiver was a blast to make, even if the stitching took way longer than I would have liked (the longer it takes the more movies I get to watch, right?). This st...

Still have to make the strap(s) Then stitch and lace everything together. Still working on getting my tooling a little cleaner. I may do another coat of antique to fill in some of the blotchy lines around the antlers and arrow, but I kind of like how it looks .

Here's a quiver and bracer I did recently. The hardest bit was doing the wolf head design, since I'm not much of an artist. I think it turned out OK.

Just finished my first belt bag to go with my archery set. I'm quite pleased with it. Got a better tool for the basket weave, and the antiquing went a lot better than first time round. Lesson learned there is waiting for a day between each step. Photos show the belt bag and the completed archer...

My friend commissioned me to make him a hip quiver and arm guard with a Loki theme. This is my first attempt at a quiver, I can't wait to see it in action. Any recommendations/comments on these pieces? I'd love to hear what I can improve on. Thanks! Corey www.theleathergeek.com

I've been working on small leather projects off and on for the last several years...more off than on lately. I've had this in my head for the last year or so but haven't had the time to work on it. It's the biggest project I've done to date and I'm pretty pleased with the way it turned out. Now my h...

Here is my first big leatherwork project. I think its turned out OK. I'm quite pleased with the arrow basketweave on the belt, that worked really well. The tiger on the quiver could be better, but quite pleased with the overall appearance. Maybe I need better tools! The basketweave on the quive...

I really enjoy traditional archery and have been wanting to make this new quiver for quite a while. The quiver has two shoulder straps so it can be worn backpack style. It also has a couple extra D-ring attachments so it can be switched to a single shoulder carry or a hip carry. The pocket on the...

Hi! I continued the scythian pictographic writing collection. Its a side quiver. The middle picture mean: Before the eyes of the ancestors, born two families. The cone is my family crest. That two family tree grown two flowers. A girl and a boy. The girl is older than the boy, not so mutch. T...

I made a challenging weekend, this was a "Ragged - ragged - rusty, old" leather, but I did not want to throw away.

Soo, this is my first arm guard. I made this for my gf birthday:) I did a little research, to know better our ornament culture, and thats happaned in the end. The full armor is on the way!

I made these prototypes with a view to sell... the leather I used for the tooled part of the quiver isn't quite up to scratch but I'm happy with the bracer. Both made with 2.5mm veg tan leather (bracer is more like 2.8-3.0) with a waxed finish. I'd welcome any constructive criticism you guys have t...

Hello everyone! First let me start out by thanking everyone for all of the advice and discussion you've participated in. I've been watching for some time now and really trying to learn as much as possible from other people's questions and experiences. The amount of insight I've obtained from this si...

Hey folks! Thought I would share a custom quiver order I took last month. I really enjoyed the way it came out. This was for a repeat customer, but they wanted a hip quiver with adjustable angle and the option of adding a shoulder strap for a walking quiver. I also put together a matching black and...

I'm kind of stumped and would like some input. I'm making my first large back quiver based off a Tandy pattern I bought, and it calls for a pouch that gets folded at the corners with a zipper going up the center, something like this: The thing is, I don't particularly care for a zipper, it just d...

This is my first Hill style quiver. I normally do gun holsters. What do you all think? I'm trying to figure out what price to sell it at.

Hello, Have been lurking this forum for a while. Been working with leather for less then a year. Here is the back quiver I made last week for my wife. We all do the traditional archery, including my 7 years old son. She likes to go to the Renn Fairs, so here is the choice of design and hardware. -
Made a quiver for a friend today (and yesterday). Not really based on anything; just sort of sprung out of my head. I found a green stone in my misc beads box, and set it in. I wasn't sure on how to do that, but I think it turned out ok. The only thing I didn't get a chance to do was to line it with...

Hey, folks. I was wondering if anyone has any information on what the quivers of Rohan's archers looked like from The Lord of the Rings. I have the movies, so I can frame through them for reference, but I figured I'd check here, too. I've found plenty of reference for Legolas's and Faramir's quivers...
