Plains style quiver from badger pelt...

[medicinewheel]

Hello all together!
I just finished this quiver. It's made from buck skin a badger pelt, the cut-offs are used for lining the mouth to make it quiet.
Hope you like it...
Thanks for watching.

I like it.  Good thing its not badger rawhide.  skinned one once for the pelt and the smell of the thing made me sick.  I think it is worse than a skunk.

Should be nice and quiet.

 Wow, Frank. Your skill at making quivers is at the same level of those fine looking bows.

That is a nice looking quiver Frank. One of these days Ill get off my lazy butt and build one for myself.

I think it is worse than a skunk.

Just because you never skinned a skunk.

Beautiful work!

That looks like a great reason to get the badger-killer outside!

Thanks everybody for the nice comments!
I'd say this quiver really was not difficult to make, but it was a lot of work.
Here's a bit of a detail pic.

Justin,

Have to say you are right,never skinned a skunk.  Never saw a reason to. Trapped a few, and a few civic cats also, so Ive been around them, but man I think the badger has them beat though.

Medicinewheel,

I guess I didnt know that thy ahd badgers in europe. Shows ya how much I know huh? Great quiver. Now I am gonna be on the hunt for some badger. I will just have to wear a mask while I get him worked.

Hey Tell...yes there is a European badger; it looks a bit different from the American, stands higher and can become bigger I believe, whereas the American seems 'flat', the European is more like a cone and always stands upright, also the face mask is more pronounced. They are hardly ever to be seen, very shy.

Nice quiver, I'll never go into the woods wearing a back quiver. Your Badger Quiver will protect your arrows rain or shine. Sure is a lot of cool stuff to make along with bow building. Make sure you sign everything you make and it doesn't have to be your name it could be a symbol or a mark.
 I have a Medicine Wheel of grandfather stones about 20 ft dia ( maybe 6 meters) out behind my studio. Spend some time in prayer in it most every day.
