(this is likely bending the "primitive" requirement a little!)
just finished this plains style quiver and a set of arrows for my daughter...for a Christmas present.
ok...the arrows are NOT "primitive" they're from ordered portland cedar stock, punched out fletchings, plastic knocks and standard field points.

I helped her make her first hackberry bow this spring and figured she might need a few arrows .
then I thought, wheres she going to put em? so this quivers made of elk skin and deer skin(commercial tanned) from her husbands past hunts.
its what i had on hand.

nice job on the quiver brother.what part of Ohio are you from?

thanks for the comments bro's !

My ancestors came from Ohio... we have some "homelands" there (Upper Sandusky) (and also near Zanesfield )
The Wyandot were forced out in 1843 ,and white settlers moved right into their nice cabins when they left.
Wyandot settled Kansas(right where Kansas City Kansas is today) and its where my mom grew up. She went to Wyandotte High School
she said most kids at the school didn't even know it was named after a tribe.
Some Wyandot left Ks. and settled here in NE Okl....where we bought land on old allotment lands.
I'm involved here in Wyandot ceremonial Longhouse and language revitalization and an active member of the Seneca/Cayuga Longhouse.

That's an awesome quiver. I'd be proud to carry that! Hey, don't worry... your arrows are plenty 'primitive' enough! As long as they're not CF or aluminum shafts, they qualify.

thanks for the great comments!

don't know if anyone has tried this before... I likely RE-discovered a great tool for stitching using a turkey wing quill tip.
select a quill that fits through the hole size you're punching ,cut the quill off, reem it out a little so the leather lacing can slide in.
then cut a sliver of quill from the discarded to slide it in alongside the leather..jambed in it holds pretty well and
works better than a bone needle with a eye, which tends to double over the lacing causing thickness.
its also easier on the fingers pushing it through.
