Primitive Hunting Quiver
« on: November 24, 2013, 06:50:27 pm »
So here is my new hunting quiver. I made this from a large rawhide dog bone. I tanned the hide using a mixture of eggs, mayonaise and elbow grease. After working the solution into the hide I allowed it time to cure in a Ziplock bag. Upon opening the bag a few days later, I was met with a formidable scent. Man was that smelly. I quickly rinsed the hide and began working it. After about an hour I decided that it was plenty worked to me(I decided against making it cloth-like). I then folded the hide in half lengthwise and began to sew using artificial sinew. After sewing up the main part of the quiver i sewed on a side flap to help protect the fletching of my arrows. I then attached a support stick, using jute twine, which I stained with an ebony stain. This quiver is quite ugly due to the knots that were in the dogbone. I made this quiver after the Otzi the Iceman quiver replica made by Shawn Woods on youtube. All in all I am very happy with this quiver and will be taking it with me on my next hunt. Thanks for looking!

Thanks guys! And yes they are Danzn Bar but with guinea fowl fletching. I posted them in the arrow section a while back under the title of Bamboo Hunting Arrows.

     Cool!  8)  I like it! ;)  Looks fine to me.  It is primitive, and looks like an original.  Not all were fancy decorated, and all, most were simple utilitarian, quivers, that were made to carry arrows, and protect them from the elements.  Nice job.  How does it smell now?  Did you smoke it?

Very cool looking. I've been thinking of doing something similar only with waxed canvas, as I've got a lot of wax and canvas. Wasn't quite sure on how to do the flap, but that looks really great.

Just look up Otzi the Iceman quiver on youtube and the video by shawn woods does a good job of explaining how to make it

Ugly? Remember that Otzi made his to match his purse and shoes, so it's all about accessorizing my man. I think it looks great and good job tanning that dog bone to make it!

Thanks Wylden! Its mostly the part of the quiver that used to be the knot in the dogbone that I feel is ugly. But I still love it ;D
