Members Tina Posted April 26, 2011 Author Members Report Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) Tina, I've been asked by my son-in-law to make him a quiver. Before he asked me this I didn't know what a quiver was. He is really into hunting and wants me to make him a bow case and quiver out of an elk hide he shot on a trip to Montana. This is a prized possession and I don't want to ruin this hide. The question I have is the hair is attached and I need to know how to sew this. Do I cut back the hair to be able to sew it? I saw your photos and thought you could be of help. Thanks Hi Ben :-) I did not cut back any fur on either one of the quivers. The Hair-on-cow was the easy one, the fur is "stiff" and it was just so sew right on to the tooled pieces. The rabbit, a wee bit more tricky...The fur finds it self in to every little stich and hole. I taped back the fur as hard as possible with some of that blue masking tape, (but I'm sure any masking tape will do) then it was "just" to sew the fur onto the tooled pieces. I remeber I did glue the delicate rabbit fur onto some piece of leather (just laying around) with more substance to it. I hope this will help you or that other might jump in here and give some tips on the topic. Wishing you Good Luck//Tina Edited April 26, 2011 by Tina Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.
