TomSwede Posted January 1, 2010 Report Posted January 1, 2010 Ha ha I can just laugh in pure amusement over this one!!!! Very impressive and massive, love the detail with the ball and the smaller details like the inlay just above the snaplock and the good looking bottom with what I guess is the carvers name inscription!!!! Awsome!!!! Tom Quote Confucius - Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without. --------------------------------------------- www.1eye1.se blogg.1eye1.se
Members wildland Posted January 2, 2010 Members Report Posted January 2, 2010 Lovely work. Can you share how you constructed the ends? They look seamless and I am particularly interested in how you cap the bottom that way. I make custom arrow quivers and capping the bottom is one of the areas I find challenging. I am always looking for a new way to do it. Chris Quote

We use a laser to cut the wood to fit. Before we had the laser we would use the jigsaw and sand to fit. Quote Support Quality. We are all humans. Buy the best no matter where it's made.

Thanks I will have to try that on my next quiver. Quote
