That.  Makes it all worthwhile.  Awesome for you!  And awesome set as well.  That is a ton of stamping!  and a ton of sewing.  I bet your hands were so tired it wasn't hard for that archer to pry it away, even if you did attempt to resist!

Thank you, YinTx.

Actually it wasn't that much of a hardship because I already had the belt lying around in a drawer. Only after finishing the quiver I found out that both pieces were equal in color and design.

Really nice job. I like the colour.The only thing I would do differently, would be a line of stitches along each side of the 2 hanger straps, I think it just finishes the straps off to match the belt and quiver.

I competed nationally in FITA and I would have been very pleased to have a rig like that! Well done!

Thanks, Rockoboy! And You are right. Since even chape (chape?) and billet of the belt are lined and stitched, I should have paid more attention to the hanger straps.

Originally I thought I'd offer the quiver without belt. Then I found the long forgotten western belt ...

Thanks, Bob! My rig worn in a FITA championship? I would have bragged about it to my pals!

This was prior to my starting leather working. BTW each arrow is around $80.

Arrows at 80 bucks each would merit to be housed in one of the antique turkish quivers that are on display in the Imperial Armoury in Vienna!

Wow!

Very nicely done. I'm very new to leather. What stamps did you use to create the scale look inside of the border?

How far were you shooting that you had a spotting scope with you?

Thanks, Railrider.

I used a large camouflage tool I bought many years ago in Germany. From tip to tip it measures 12 mm (almost 1/2 ").

Any large and fairly rounded camouflage tool will do, e.g. Craftool C455 (which measures 7/8x11/32).

I accented the scales with a narrow textured pear shader (P370), but any drop-shaped tool will do.

        The pic shows scale-experiments:

Camouflage tool   -   scales accented with narrow pear shader or backgrounder   -   Berry King border tool added.

It pais to make a template and to mark the points where the scales meet.

Upper left Corner: A scale tool that I bought from Bulgaria produced sharp contours but otherwise flat impressions.
