Muddy Report post Posted December 27, 2008 Hi to all, I am interested in carving leather with the hope to eventually make myself a good target quvier. Any of you who live here in australia where do you get your supplies? One day i hope to be able to produce something remotely close to what i have seen here. P.S if anyone has a pattern for a quiver that i could see that would be great Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Muddy Report post Posted December 27, 2008 Back quiver or side quiver? Im after a side quiver, my whole family shoots target bows. After wearing out two sythetic quivers i now want a leather one. My father used to do a little leatherwork years ago but got rid of his gear when he turned to silver work. So after allways liking the look of carved leather things i want to learn to do it myself Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just made one, but I doubt it'll fit an adult male, since I made it for a 15-year-old girl who's on the petite side. :-D It'd be easy to size up, though.

leatheroo Report post Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) here is a pic of one style of side quiver i make...i usually only make it with one pocket now..after making, i wet and stretch the pocket to allow for arrows... you should be able to work out the design if you like it... the top flap goes over a belt and the arrows will point forward Edited December 27, 2008 by leatheroo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheer's for that, didn't know the existed. I can get leather from our local whip maker, but hardware, dyes etc, I usually go to Birdsalls. I'll give Lefflers a go.
