Quivers
« on: January 04, 2013, 11:46:20 pm »
Anyone know of a Build-A-long thread in here about building a Quiver.   If not can you steer me in the right direction.  They are expensive. I ran into some old leather today for $15.00 could make about 4 quivers from it. It's medium grade (brown) cowhide suede texture.

Theres a how to build along of a plains style quiver about two issues back by Mike Yancy, the plains style is easy and very practical. Just look at some pictures of a few examples and give it a go, if you can work a computer, you can build a quiver.  ;)

Bow101, I am in the process of making a hunting quiver from PVC.  I know its not primitive, but I needed something to protect my arrows and the current quiver I have was not doing the job, and there are still a few days left in archery season here in Missouri.  I do not have any photos right now but will try to put one up when its finished.  I am plannig to make a few plains style quivers after hunting season, but i am still working on getting more raw materials!   :)

lol.........no doubt PVC is out of the ordinary for Primi folks on here... :laugh: But a good one, I have seen a few online.
How about this Patches....? Take an old leather jacket and cut off the sleeve, or a ladys leather boot, cut off the heel and toe section, you now have a quick style Quiver.. ;)  No fuss, No muss Guss..!

I talked it over with my wife who is an artist in a number of different media and we are kicking around some ideas. I'm a wood turner and I thought about how I could make one on the ol lathe but I discarded most of my designs as too heavy. Still, there is potential there, I just have to get creative.

In any case, if I get anything going that turns out decent, I'll post all about it.
