Birch Bark Quiver and Cloack Pin Buckle
« on: February 07, 2013, 12:01:54 am »
Here is a Birch Bark quiver I made. Thanks RobWiden for the bark, it turned out great. The buckle is a Scottish Cloack pin design. I made another one and placed it bellow that one you see in the pictures, I did that so I can adjust the length of the shoulder strap as needed.

 Nice work Bushy Man.
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

Thanks for all the replies.
richardzane: The bottom is a scrap piece of 1/4 plywood that I cut to shape and then lightly glued it into the bottom opening of the quiver. I then drilled a bunch of small wholes all in a line around the base of the quiver and drove in some carpet tacks through the bark and into the middle of the plywood. I then cut out a piece of bark the same size as the bottom of the quiver and glued and tacked it into place as well. I will attach a couple of close up pictures of it.
