I case skinned a coyote hide, tanned it and sewed up the holes. Then took a piece of tanned fur-on leather and tacked it to a circular piece of wood creating a cushion of sorts. This was tacked to the bottom of the casing and voila! The hair adds cushion and the tanned skin will not damage points. I also wrapped the top in for a few inches to create fur lined rim. It keeps the arrows from rattling. Its not near as pretty as some I've seen on here, but very functional.
