yet another leather quiver - carved with horn

[troy]

I call this one the odd name of 'Fanorientern'. Mainly because within its materials and design, plus the actual carvings there are elements of both eastern, western and fantasy influences, or maybe I have finally cracking up after a very cold, wet and windy summer!!!! or it may seem so, joining pegasus with a chinese archers figthing a dragon! - the back ground is actually mountains but unfortunatly I sized them wrong and you can't see the tops. The horn ends are from indian or pakistan cows, can't remember which.

Plus managed to get a few better photo's of the armour boots (inbetween rain showers).

THat is very cool looking. I really like the carving. The horn ends are a excellent idea as well. It really gives it that olden time feel to it.

Good looking boots as well.

been creating again. This time using para cord to create some patterns on a latigo quiver and some odd pieces of buffalo horn on a veg tan quiver.

The boots are fantastic and the tooling on the quiver is fantastical! Both are amazingly beautiful.

I just love the colour, the style and concho used on them.

That is a great looking carving,

I like the paracord and horn concept too.

did you glue the horn onto the sheath or is it an inlay of some kind?

I like them all. The carving is really good.

If its the quivier with the black horn your refering to, I used small screws to attach them, as for the cow horn, this involved a long winded process which I would hate to repeat but remarkibly worked, i.e they are sewn on with tiger thread and all the holes in the leather and those very smalls one's I drilled into the horns matched up - could'nt believe it!

here's another little weird idea I've been playing with - a quiver totally made from cow horn;

made this from 2 truely huge horns about 40 inches long and cut them so that one would slide into another, then polished, securing each together by paracord. The strap is webbing coated with tweed cloth which for some reason I thought would look good (i.e it was cheaper then buying leather for the job!) which is afixed to the horn by the paracord you see hanging down - there is no real belt loop, rather I left it as it is enabling the user to adjust angle, height.

I think it turned out OK, following the ethos of my imagination - i.e gotta be weird and completley different.

Troy,

The horn one looks totally uncomfortable. So my question is, is it comfortable. Those horns are huge.

It is my wife, who is quite small and petit, modeling the quiver and she said that it felt OK, felt comfortable and did'nt really notice the weight.

I did make it so that the natural curve of the horn is displayed to the front, but from above they run almost striaght like a normal quiver, I guess if worn over a long time they may bother the wearer but over here (UK) where due to import/export stuff is the only place I can send it, it would be used for short periods for show standing static in front of bales of hay.

How very interesting and unique, I guess it proves that looks can be deceiving.
