Did the Native Americans think about all this that much or just do it?

That's a great looking quiver and looks to be very well done.   Thanks for sharing.

Lovely quiver, very nice.  8) I made one similar from black locust bast. some stone points tend to get caught, though.

Nice!    Every time I drive by cat tails I've thought about this project.  How does it hold up?

It seems fairly durable, I'm sure because I used the stalks rather than the leaves. Though it does tend to snag all points on the way in, and broadheads on the way out.

     What about lining those basket quivers with birch bark?

I like it!  I too never thought of cattail as a raw material. I live on Marsh Road so I'm now surrounded by a source for basket quiver construction. No more excuses for me not to at least attempt one. I'm curious though - what time of year is best for harvesting?

Yep, that's a winner!
I bet it is fairly light also.
