Traditional Looking Side Quiver.

[The Long Forgotten]

Hi all.

Ive been lurking around here for a while now and been really inspired by a lot of the work on show.

This is my first post and in fact my first leather project.

I have a habit of jumping into things blindly and this is no exception. Cant even remember why I choose a quiver as I've never picked up a bow and arrow, but meh, why not?

Its all braided with about 25m of leather cord, not a single stitch in there but its solid as a rock.

Sheep skin lined for the first 6 inches to cut down on arrow clatter (broke a beard trimmer shaving the sheep down)

What do you think? Be as nice or as critical as you like, as a first timer its all good motivation.

Very nice war bow quiver......I know a lot of archers who would love to have it.

Very nice, first timer or not your attention to detail is very impressive. Keep up the good work. What's next?

Thanks for the comments guys.

First off I'll try and flog this quiver to a good home seeing as I'll never use it myself.

As for my next project.... well it seems my big ol' grufty beard hasn't actually suffocated the child in me, so I suppose I'll have a go at whatever makes me say "Ahhhh, cool! .....WANT!"

Anything Ye olde / military..... the brass and leather works well so maybe something steampunkish, perhaps a mask with one of those electronic cigarettes jimmied into it so it breaths steam....hmmmmm.

All in all I wish I'd found leather working twenty years ago :D

As an archer myself, I can really appreciate this! That quiver is SICK!!!

I think any archer would be proud to wear your work. Nice job.
