The Long Forgotten

Traditional Looking Side Quiver.

Recommended Posts

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.

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
